Recommendation for good Ruy book? How about QGD?

I want to make an all classic repertoire.  The Ruy as both white and black and the QGD.  Any tips / book recommendations are appreciated.

Perhaps see Kramnik's and Carlsen's games in the Ruy.

See Aronian's game for the QGD. 

There are MANY other players that play these lines.

Oh you wanted books?! I don't know.

Kasparov's chessbase DVD's for the QGD. 'Mastering the Spanish With the Read and Play Method' by Daniel King, if you can find it.

Kasparov's chessbase DVD on QGD is excellent indeed.

Any tips are good, you can recommend games to look at too :)

I'll look into Kasparov's DVDs and the King book, thanks.  There are so many books on this subject it's hard to know which are good.

Matthew Sadler's QGD book is one of the great books.
