For English books, I recomend the below 6 books.

"Pine Needle Raffia Basketry" by Jeannie McFarland

You could purchase them through www. amazon.com or their web site.

There are more good books, but many of them were published sometime ago, and cannot get new ones.  Also the methods written in the books sometimes are different from the ones taught these days., so I recommend you that you buy after you master current methods in case you are interested in the books.

DVD:

There are two DVDs made by Nadine Spier, which I really recommend you to watch.  They are pine needle basket making basic and advanced.  It in English, but  you could understand many just by watching them.

You can purchase them through www.amazon.com and through her web site. (www.nadinespier.com)
