I think that most of the training books do address e-collars on some level in that they recognize that people use them.... and they will discuss them but as with anything it is your option to use or not to use them.....
I like these books as it gives me guidance and then I opt to take my own training methods and what works for my dogs and adjust what they suggest to what is good for my dogs.... the Wolters book did not as I recall use an e-collar ...although I believe he addresses the use of them but it is a good basic get started training book... it really stresses starting young and how the dog develops... as a primary training method and I don't believe the marsh and meadow book did either.... but again .... they might discuss them on a rudimentary level.... but you don't have to use them.
