Used Book in Good Condition
I am a contractor. I have only seen one book from tumbleweed and was not impressed. This was years ago, so perhaps later editions improved, but the one I saw had almost no detail and certainly not anywhere near what a novice needed.
If you have no experience building, I'd suggest The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling. It has detailed photos and drawing.
If you're still interested in some construction books, Renovation is written for remodeling, but it has some really interesting work-arounds.
if you live in the USA is the best guide I have found to learn from zero. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600852467/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
also, any Books or Videos from Larry Haun, that guys is fantastic.
I really recommend the video series of how to frame a house. is 3 parts of one hour each but you will watch a master working and taking the time to describe what you as new, need to learn.
Does he have a toolkit that's in working order? Does he collect honey?
Perhaps something along the DIY/building theme. There are some good books like this that could be useful
A really great "all around" book is by Charlie Wing called The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling
