I didn't have much when I bought my Bird back in 1991, it was all in boxes, I used both the 1967 service manual and Firebird supplement and the Chilton repair and Fisher Body manual. Now Wow there is so much out there, I use Vicki's site alot and here the old posts help too.
It really depends on what you want out of your restoration. There are no specific Firebird resto books out there that I'm aware off, and the Camaro and a couple of others I looked at are IMO very vague and not very precise in the work described.
The best and NUMBER ONE advise I can give you is: Do not finish-paint all your body panels individually off the car and then assemble and align. Paint the backsides and even a coat of primer on front, but finish everything in one shot after you're happy with all your gaps and alignments. If it's not painted you can pry, hammer, shim, drop a wrench, rub you belt buggle, set a beer bottle on it etc. and it won't hurt a [censored] thing .
Everything else was a combination of service manual, this site, and other sites when finishing mine. Hope this helps.
Since you have a '69, I would get a copy of the '68 Firebird Factory Assembly Manual from E-bay.
Not the most legible documents out there, but better than nothing. Shows you how they put the car together at the factory.

I believe it's printed a bit better. Unfortuately, '67 & '68's are much more compatable with each other than '69's so it's probably won't help you out that much more.
