I have never laid a serious brick in my life, but I rather suspect I could learn how to do it from this Paul Hasluck book - it really is a mine of information, although no doubt the building regulations have changed in 100 years. What I find especially interesting are the sections on creating arches, niches and domes, and oriel windows. 160 pages. 368 drawings. Paperback.
