What is the best masonry design handbook to get in the US. I have a good Canadian book but, since I'm working in Wisconsin now, the metric design aids are not very useful to me. Suggestions???
 
Two books are referenced a lot here in the US:

"Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook", Fifth Edition, James E. Amrhein, published by the Masonry Institute of America, Los Angeles, CA.

"Masonry Designers Guide", ACI International,
The Amrhein book is very helpful but the 5th edition had lots of errors in the sample calculations.
