Can anyone recommend a book on building with green lumber?

White pine mostly, some red oak. 

This can happen with the "kiln dried" stuff from the lumberyard as well, and almost all new construction involves lots of varying moisture/drying inputs that can make wood wiggle around. In the standard stick framing industry they've got speed working in their favor- the studs don't have a chance to move much before they're held in place by OSB and drywall. I've found this is hard to pull off for a do it yourselfer. I guess the main thing to remember is to double check all your openings before you start hanging doors and Windows, and buy a portable planer.

Having deconstructed many old homes and barns for the chestnut in them: I've seen every known species in use in all the parts. 
But locally, here (E KY) and now, green rough sawed is used a lot for self-build or contractor built homes and EWP, SYP, "other" pine, hemlock and yellow poplar are easily the first choices for cost and nail ability for stick frames.
