Am guessing the translation is lacking...my first thought is that you look for books on how to manipulate sound...or do you look for why sound affects people in certain ways...if it's the latter,you'll need a lifetime or two to find answers...if it's the former,the books are readily available.Please specify-
Electroacoustics? If you mean speakers and that stuff:
" the loudspeaker and headphone handbook " editor, John Borwick.
Will keep you happy with everything you never wanted to know about how to design the driver, a headphone, electrostatics, horns etc...

The one book that really got me started in acoustics and speaker building, and was required reading before I could understand the Audio Engineering Society preprints, was :
Acoustics by Leo L. Beranek
This book is still the first one I grab when I am looking for detailed information on an acoustics related issue.
Other excellent texts are :
Introduction to Electroacoustics and Audio Amplifier Design by W. Marshall Leach
Testing Loudspeakers by Joseph D'Appolito
A book with less technical challenge, but still an excellent guide, is :
The Loudspeaker Design Cookbook by Vance Dickason
The first three books will give you a good engineering education on electroacoustics (acoustics, speaker design, microphone design, some elactronics, and room acoustics) using a lot of advanced math if you chose to dig into the equations and physics behind acoustic design. The last book will give you a "how to" type of background without the need to do a lot of math and physics, obviously the basic understanding will be less.
Hope that helps answer your question,

one of the best you can purchase is by Marshall Leach "Electroacoustics and Audio Amplifier Design" -- i think you can get it off of his website or form Amazon.
Douglas Self has two books which are very good.

ultra necropost but still... electroacoustics from kleiner mendel is in libgen, it has a real extensive part of elctro mechano acoustical analogies
The book you literally want is:
Electroacoustics
by Frederick V. HuntFirst published January 1, 1954
It covers things you never heard of, then gives you the foundation to compute them.
https://www.amazon.com/Electroacoustics-Analysis-Transduction-Historical-Background/dp/088318401X
My 1st edition copy was bought by a Daniel H. Bevins (lived in my town) for $6. Amazon claims copies from $32/$43. An 8MB PDF scan of the 1983 paperback reprint is available:

There seems to be a 2014 reprint also @$65.
OK, I extracted the text so you don't have to retype ISBNs:

I am fascinated about history.
Last week I was reading a book about a profession we don't have and know anymore.
The art, do's and don't in manual schematic drawings.
They go into great lengths about what fonts, where to start and stop with the pencil, the best ways to sharpen a pencil.
The order and procedures how to draw certain tubes. Readability etc etc etc etc
So fascinating.
This used to be all done by other people.
These days you just all dump it into your EDA
Anyway, nothing really to add to this lists here.
Except the notice that people actually really should start reading these things!!!
Electronics Drafting, by K. Karl Kuller (1962)
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b4595514&view=1up&seq=7&skin=2021
and
Drafting for Electronics, by L.F.B Carnini (1946)
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015039678159&view=1up&seq=7&skin=2021
Especially the second one.
Hathitrust is a highly recommended in general 🙂
Open library, lots to find, great stuff.
With great dismay, I hereby testify it took 12 posts before seeing an anecdotical mention of the Only True Holy Book: Acoustical Engineering by Harry F. Olson! Where's the current generation going? Is it an overdose of techno/hardcore/dance music?
Here's my story: about half a century ago, I was gifted this treasure of humanity by the library of my uni, because nobody's checked it out for a decade, except me. Subsequently, I was hired for a working camp on acoustics in French Brittany; while driving there, I overnighted in Paris, and of course, they broke into my car and stole everything, including the holy scripture. Luckily, I was able to borrow one locally, and photocopied all of the 800+ pages! The camp was a success, I could carry out all my experiments in radiation patterns and produced usable results that went into a permanent exhibit... that promptly got vandalized!!!

Found a very nice scan here.
I haven't read it yet, but Jürg Jecklin (RIP), of Jecklin Float Electrostatic Earspeaker fame, highly recommended it.
