I paid ~$40 for all between eBay and Amazon. The only book I bought new was Amy Herzog's book for ~$20.

These have patterns but also how to make patterns fit you, also there are some good video courses on designing your own stuff which i would recommend too, after all, you dont want just 1 thing to wear a few would be nice right?
Sweater Design in Plain English is a great resourse, though it may be more detailed than you really want. (It goes into how to design a sweater from scratch.)
Knit to Flatter goes into ways to modify existing patterns by changing details like length and necklines. I don't think it talks about sleeves much, though.
Knitty has an archive of Thinking Beyond the Pattern articles, which go into a great deal of pattern modification, including sleeve types. (The articles are listed in reverse chronological order, so it makes more sense to read them from the bottom up.) I think this is your best starting point, plus it's free!
Do you mean Knit to Flatter? From your recommendation, I searched for the book and that's the one I found.

A bit. I used the instructions from the Amy Herzog book, Knit to Flatter to add some shaping.
