Julius Pavlov

Try M. S. Lipton & L. Pasa-Tolic, Mass Spectrometry of Proteins and Peptides, Humana Press, 2009; M. S. Lee & Q. C. Ji, Protein Analysis Using Mass Spectrometry, Wiley, 2017; D. D. Weis, Hydrogen Exchange Mass Spectrometry of Proteins, Wiley, 2016.

There is no single book that is "best", do keep in mind. And if you're more on the beginner's side, I suggest you start with J. H. Gross's MS textbook.

François-Xavier Campbell-Valois

So you think that Gross' textbook is worth considering? I know a new edition is imminent for this year and if it has good value, I would certainly considering it highly because it would be the most up-to-date resource available.

Gross's is, for lack of anything better, the best overall introduction to MS.
