I’m keen to get my hands on every wheelbuilding reference in print.  I’ve read:

• Barnett, John. Barnett’s Manual. Colorado Springs, Colorado. 8th edition 2012.
• Brandt, Jobst. The Bicycle Wheel. Palo Alto, California: Avocet. 3rd edition 1993.
• Musson, Roger.  Professional Guide to Wheelbuilding.  Preston, UK.  5th edition 2005.
• Schraner, Gerd. The Art of Wheelbuilding. Denver, Colorado: Buonpane Publications. 1999.

If you know of others, please let me know.

I definitely love books and reference material but, of course, study is no substitute for experience. That’s not too controversial but, on the other hand, sometimes people believe experience is a substitute for study, which I think is dangerous in its own way.
