Does anyone know of any good books or videos or online courses to learn to carve stone sculptures? I'd love to learn, but after looking around for books they seem largely non-existant, and the ones that do exist are of very dubious self-published quality.

You will probably have to watch wood carving videos. The techniques are very similar.

Not a sculptor, but I'm not sure directly carving into stone really is a good idea. Sculpting in clay/plaster, then using a pantograph or any other mechanical tool to progressively clone the clay/plaster model to stone.

Going to stone directly feels like going with ink without any composition study/preparatory drawings. It can be done, but only with great expertise.

Often people advise to start with soapstone, that is easy to carve. Heck, maybe using soap could be interesting.

Have you tried looking on archive.org for ancient book on sculpting?

Start with clay and plaster if you don't have expirience with sculpture. Starting with stone is bad idea.
If you know how to sclupt use sandstone. It's soft and you need only harmer (like in your pic) and 2 or 3 chisels with difrent profiles. But remember about eye protection and mask.

If you have on mind carving techniques than you are wrong. Stone and wood need diffrent tools and knowledge of material.
