Books on Concrete Construction at U de M

Hello Everybody, 
Below is an edited list of books that I found at The Université de Montréal architecture library. I tried to choose books that seem to be of historic significance and∕or are directly related to construction with concrete. 
It is interesting to note that the book by Francis S. Onderdonk , titled The Ferro-Concrete Style (1928), is very focused on designing with concrete, not mere function. There are color illustrations on how to paint on concrete and several churches are featured in the book.
