Found a wire jewelry book I had never seen before at the library a week ago. It's very thin but a great reference booklet if you do a lot of wire jewelry. I've attached a copy of one page of the 16 pages of various types of wire connections. Some are terrible, some are great. Great reference book to have on hand.
After the pages of wire connections, there are pages on how to complete them, many instructions in summary form (you make one, do that now you can do the rest).
