Hi,
Marshall Miles, "Competitive Bidding in the 21st century",
well written, covers most aspects off compet. bidding.
Larry Cohen, "To bid or not to bid", introduction to the
Law of Total tricks, more restricted scope, but well written
netheless.
Marty Bergen "Better Bidding with Bergen", 2nd volume.
You will find a lots of things in it, but you need to like the
writing style, if not, well take a look at another book ... .
With kind regards
Marlowe
PS: As you see may guess, I prefer the bookby Miles, but
other like the book written by Bergen, if you have the optio,
try to get a look into the books before you purchase the books.
PSS: Also take a look at the following thread:

Robson and Segal, Partnership bidding at bridge. Use google and search the internet you will probably find the book in PDF format.

for strictly competitive auctions, regardless of system, i'd suggest cohen's 'to bid or not to bid'

In the "More Stuff" section, the PDF of the Robson-Segal book can be downloaded. Well worth the reading.

"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Mike Lawrence has "I Fought the LAW" which discusses problems with the LAW (presented in the Larry Cohen books).
Mike also has a 2/1 book titled "the COntested Auction"
