Don't know how easy it is for you to get these books, but two of the many good ones that are out there are -

Marker Magic by McGarry and Madsen (mostly a lot of architectural and environmental stuff, but very good all-around too.)

Quick and Easy Solutions to Marker Techniques by Yoshiharu Shimizu
(lots of industrial design and cars - even some adobe illustrator techniques as well)

Good luck

geez - forgot about one of the best ones!

Color Drawing (2nd edition) by Michael E. Doyle
(marker and colored pencil, from what markers to choose and what colors to choose and why, to what kinds of paper to use for various effects. How to create different textures for wood, stone, etc. - a very good, thick book with many many illustrations and demonstrations)

This might be the single book you need to get you going with markers.

you could also try a used booksstore.

I bought an old book from 1987 which i like alot called:

Advanced marker techniques
by
Dick Powell & Patricia Monahan

It was even translated in dutch and covers alot more then just architectural work maybe one exists in your own language as well?

some topics are:

car concepts, film & video, product design, fashion, advertising.

and ofcourse technique and equipment.

Sadly it's not in print anymore
