conlang books
Hi I was wondering if anyone here might know a good conlang book(s) that might be of use to new conlangers such as myself. In particular I am looking for a how-to book that uses simplistic language as I only have a very basic understanding of the subject matter -so nothing too complicated please.

"They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say 'Shit, it's raining!'"
Just a quote I keep thinking of. Good thing I have a lot of projects to work on at home this summer, because I'm sure not going to be able to afford to go anywhere.

Another meme....yay.
So....yeah. There hasn't really been much of anything going on here. I did the downtown thing last weekend and it was okay. My dad and aunt are both kind of difficult but I survived. We had some good food.....I had tuna carpaccio and it was the best thing ever. Well, one of them. And mom and I rode the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier (terrifying in a high wind) and then got our groove on during the movie. Woo-hoo. Am so looking forward to Terminus, and the chance to have a downtown adventure without annoying relatives in tow. :)

Progress
This is just to let everyone know that I have currently been working on my tenses as I have decided to make my language more orginal in it's context . At the moment I have five tenses. The tenses are referred to as past-tense, near-past, present-tense, near-future tense and future-tense. The tenses are distinguished based on their word endings.
The word endings are JD (past-tense) JH (near-past tense) JDH (present-tense) HJ (near-future tense) and DJ (future tense). I intend for the endings described to be written in a single letter which are known as 'case letters.' By this I mean that even though there are seperate letters for say J and D I won't be combing those letters to form the past-tense word ending.
Rather the letters J and D in the word ending JD will be considered as entirely seperate letters and will have its own written form than if they were to be written seperately as simply J and D. So I guess that to put it more simply that the word endings will become like how how the dipthong 'th' is represented in most conlangs (or at least most of the conlangs that I have looked at on the internet for inspiration).
I have also been busy jotting down some possible ideas that I might use later on (that is assuming that I won't get bored with the conlang). I mentioned in a previous post that in my conlang double letters are generally not accepted. Well I have further developped this idea and have decided to make an exception. In the conlang double letters such as double "tt" as in the name "Scott" are considered grammatically incorrect and are instead represented as a single letter that has diacrit above it to show that it has been elongated.
However an exception will generally be made if the letter happens to be a vowel. For instance although the double "t" in the name "Scott" will be written as Scot with one "t" the double "o" in the word "spoon" will simply be written as a double "o."
I have also thought about how the length of a word or rather the the pronunciation length of the phonemes in a word might change the meaning of the word. I know there are quite a number of languages that do this and I think that this would be a good way of making the conlang different to the grammar used in the modern usage of the English language which the conglang was previously largely based upon.
Well they are my ideas that I have come up with so far and of which I have spent the last few days testing them and to my pleasure seem to fit in with with what I had in mind. Please post your comments and let me know what you think of them.
