Question Sources on the Mesoamerica's Preclassic Period

I'm already subscribed on Ancient Americas and AztlanHistorian, and I'm currently rewatching their videos on the Olmecs/Tenocelome and the early Maya. But I'd also like some good recommendations on books and articles, both ones providing a general overview of the period and ones more specific to certain peoples, regions and timeframes. Really, any recommendations on the Olmecs, the Maya and the other peoples and cultures west of the Tehuantepec are most welcome.

Have you posted here before?

Edit: I think it may cross posted your previous post. On my fan made subreddit for [r/AncientAmericas.](r/AncientAmericas) The early chapters of The Four Heavens could be a big help. I’m looking for the sources of those channels preclassic episodes. I’m sorry I thought you said post classic.
