Jason, I've built a couple sets of wheels now, and relied on both the Brandt and Brown descriptions/instructions. I think you can pass on the the Brandt book if you're just looking to build wheels, rather than understand all the physics of what's going on.
That said, I found this guy's videos to be EXTREMELY helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXpxmqEaxb0 That's not the first video in the series, but it gives an idea of what each is like. He explains things very well, and you just can't beat actually watching a skilled mechanic assemble a wheel. Give yourself plenty of time, and take lots of breaks. Enjoy - it really is a fun process and something you can be proud of when you're out on the road. Adam D.
