hi Charles,
My suggestion is not really a book, but it's definitely traditional: the five pages in the Cyclo-Pedia catalog. It's conveniently on-line, so there's no risk on your part:

check pages 58 thru 62. This is what guided me through my early wheel building adventures (with some help, I think, from The Complete Book of Bicycling).
