 Hi u/Puzzleheaded-Web2778...
 The following is a "boilerplate" response I give students or folks that email me with this same
question about, "timber frame books" to read that are just starting out and wish to learn about
this craft on an open spectrum. The information within may (or may not) be applicable to your
level of interest. Ask more and/or specific questions please if you have them...
 >>>
 If you have no detailed or specific interest in Timber Framing and/or Post and Beam
architecture, virtually any library I have checked has some of the most popular authors on this
subject present within their collection of tome...I start most students there for "physical books"
that they can read without spending money to begin their orientation to the craft via the written
word...
 I often start those that come to me to learn timber framing with many of the... "free online
books"... that I actually was told to read by my own teachers of timber framing that I
apprenticed under as a Barnwright back in the 70s. Many of these books are "out of date" in a
technical context to some degree, yet also full of basic and critical skill information as well.
These cover both traditional all-wood joinery found in "timber frames" as well as "post and
beam" architecture that relies on metal fasteners, splines, and shear plates. Of course, this is not
a complete list but a good beginning...
 "Civil Architecture, A Complete Theoretical and Practical System of Building" By Edward Shaw
1836
Note: This is a critical book that covers many aspects of historic timber frame architecture in
North America, including some of the original descriptions of how timbers are laid out for
joinery using both the "scribe rule" and "square rule." "Line rule,"...is not covered...though some
authors (Sobon, Beemer, et al) have claimed that "square rule" and "line rule" are the same. This
book clearly refutes that as "line rule" is an Easter modality of layout...

 "The Carpenter's Cyclopedia," By Frederick Thomas Hodgson 1913
