Book for Timber Frame Design

[jranderson]

I have viewed many post and maybe this is out there but I have overlooked it, but I am looking for recommendations on a good timber frame design manual? I've got copies of the NDS 05 specification and design manual. Wondering if anyone has had any luck with additional references.

Google it. But Byers or Beyers , the author (sp?) has a good wood book

@jranderson - Like Mike suggested, it is Design Of Wood Structures - ASD by Donald E. Breyer et. el. and published by Mc-Graw Hill. Try to buy edition compatible with NDS - 05.
