Ask HN: Textbooks or books dealing with the minutiae of startups?

Hi,

If you search HN, there are dozens of threads recommending "books for startups" which generally are the books like Hackers for Painters or Rework and so on. I've been asked a couple times by friends and I'm curious myself, is there a canonical textbook on the details of startups?

Rather than, say, reading about listening to customers and how to rapidly iterate, I'm looking for books on incorporation vocabulary, what the splits of stock look like for the typical team of 2, 3, or 4. Definitions of Series A, preferred stock etc. Obviously Wikipedia is a source, but surely there is a widely used book or textbook out that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations, e
