Summary: The Bible
Review: Jobst Brandt may be an extremely cranky on-line persona, but this book is the best guide to how bicycle wheels work. The section on theory is clear and easy to read. I was able to lace, true and ride a wheel based on the instructions found here.

Summary: Review of The Bicycle Wheel
Review: This books details exactly how you can go about building your own bicycle wheels. The updated edition has coverage for modern MTB wheels, and talks around composite wheels (but doesn't tell you how to build them!). Good book

Summary: The wheel building bible
Review: Without a doubt, this is the accepted resource for wheel builders. I think the book is a well-written information source for the new and experienced builder. If you want to know how wheels work, this book is for you. The engineering explanations are useful and detailed. Some feel the author is a little old fashioned in his view point on new products and wheel design. That viewpoint is implied in a few places in the book, but I don't feel it is over emphasized.

Summary: Wheels are complex, but this book makes simple.
Review: Years ago, I disassembled my father's front wheel and rebuilt it, just to see if I could. Then I noticed that I'd made some mistakes, so I did it again. And again. Days later, when I gave up, it still wasn't right. I bought a copy of this book, and promptly built myself some wheels that I just retired at around 10 years old. Wheels are *complicated* structures. But this book makes it possible for the moderately competent tinkerer to learn to build the most beautiful, efficient, functional structure s/he'll ever put together. And that's pretty cool.
