B&W photos, and clear line drawings along with drafting type prints with the measurements. This book or any of the other ones I have mentioned will give a pretty good understanding of the pattern making procedures whether it be for art or parts casting.
And all the basic info as far as shrinkage, slip,draft, and the use of cores,gates and risers still apply even if you are using new materials and making multiple copies.
