Matt Cook is a passionate Ives fan - he's also got a couple of articles in journals about him, I will try and chase these up - and that book is pretty good. There's also something about Ives in John Stokes, Oscar Wilde, Myths, Miracles and Imitations. Joy Dixon has also been working on him and the Order but don't know if she's published anything yet.
Ives' diaries are maddening to read - his handwriting changes all over the place even on the same page, and large tracts are really, really boring. And then there are little gems and nuggets.
