I finished "Building Stone Walls" last week. At just over 100 pages, this isn't a detailed work on all the ins and outs of every aspect of wall building. It does provide an overview, some specific pointers, and some specific suggestions on tools. It's easy to read and has numerous illustrations. I do wish a bit more time was spent on the shaping of stones and perhaps a bit less on the oddities: special walls and furniture. Overall, a well laid out little book.

This won't really get you to the point you can build a stone wall, but it might give you the inspiration and knowledge you need to go out and start learning by picking up and placing stones. Fitting, because that seems like the author's intent.
