I mean where centaur's so we're in secluded locals, what's are backstory who are our ancestors what kind of stories have our great minds written, we seriously need a list of interesting books. (Spell books anyone?)

It's not exactly focused on them, but I get all of my views on Centaurs from Tanya Huff's "The Last Wizard".
I may write up the intro about how all races came to be, and we can modify it to fit Gaia.

I've seen Centaurs mentioned in all-encompasing mythology books, but nothing devoted specifically to them...

I'd agree, I see them more as being part of a fantasy group than a creature of their own right. Like, you'll never see them getting the same stand-alone status as dragons, for example. You can find plenty on just unicorns, but nothing that I know of that is just centaurs. Someone needs to change that.

I guess Greek myths, where centaurs were portrayed as generally unlikable creatures.

That is SO not true.

Hmm...You don't see books solely about Centaurs, do you?

Lessee...Well, the Xanth books have a lot of centaurs. ^^; That's a good part of my literary exposure to Centaurs, other than Greek mythology...
