Default Rough framing

I've built a 10x10 shed in the past where the framing was, perhaps, not
particular difficult and not necessarily critical that it be absolutely
correct. However, I'm contemplating a new garage/shop and am trying to
convince myself that I can either handle or not handle (with help) the
framing. Providing motivation for the "I can handle this" side is the fact
that I just received a quote from a local garage builder to do it to the
tune of just over $25,000. Now, I understand that design-wise, framing the
walls and roof isn't exactly rocket science, but there's certainly a right
way to do it. Like most of us here to one degree or another, I'm reasonably
handy and I enjoy a challenge and the satisfaction of building something on
my own. Plus, I figure I can build the thing for probably half of what the
garage guy wants, and $12,000 buys a lot of wood.

So, with that said, does anyone have a recommendation for a book or other
resource that discusses framing a structure such as this?
