The main thing I can tell you is to use very small tips. Try #0 tip...smaller than tip 1.
Also, you might want to make your royal icing for this using egg white, not meringue powder...so tips won't clog. For this I simply put egg white in a clean bowl and add some sifted conf. sugar - beat with a fork until it stands in peaks. Keep adding the sugar until it is the preferred consistancy. Don't make it very stiff at all so it flows from the tip better. You'll be surprised how easy this is. I also make 'curtains' this way.
There are books but I can't tell you which off-hand. You probably can find them on the website http://www.sugarcraft.com using keyword "brush embroidery".
