Recommendations On A Roofing Book?

I'm looking for a good roofing book that covers shingles and the "popular" commercial roofing systems that lists recommendations for installation materials, procedures etc., somewhat of a roofers "bible." Can anyone suggest a book that has this information?

LOL Aron, that's what I was going to say word for word. Since I want to feel wise and important I will also mention the US Army roofing manual (free).
