You might want to find a copy of "Design of Building Trusses" and "Simplified Design of Wood Trusses". I DBT is written by Ambrose and SDWT is either by Ambrose or Parker. They are both part of the Simplified Design series. "Simplified Engineering", "Simplified Design of Building Structures" ect.

Also you want to get a copy of the AITC Manual. You may need an earlier edition to find information on graphic solutions. I know you can find it in the third edition but I am unsure about the fourth edition.
