I don't have Bowles' book at home. However, the following coeff. of friction values are from IBC 2006:
Crystalline bedrock - 0.70
Sedimentary and foliated rock - 0.35
Sandy gravel and/or gravel - 0.35
Sand, silty sand, clayey sand, silty gravel, and clayey gravel - 0.25
Clay, sandy clay, silty clay, clayey silt, silt and sandy silt - 130 psf but not grater than 1/2 the dead load
 
You can also check out the old NAVDOCS 7.1 (or 7.2) - they have a table of coefficients for sliding . . .
