You might check out this past discussion thread:

Since this was from June, 1999, perhaps a few more volumes have been added to the light guage steel framing collection since then. You might check out Amazon.com or one of the other book sites on the Internet for more recent titles.
I think there was a more recent discussion on Breaktime than the one I listed above in which I gave a couple of more titles. However, the search function on Breaktime seems fairly idiosycratic - sometimes it will only give me discussions from 2000 and at other times it will only give me discussons from 1999 even though I know there were other discussions using the key words in other years.
