Jim,
Looking at your original request, I do not believe any of these books will be of much help to you.
You are a reviewer, and I suspect your interest is in the relationship between circuit tpology and their resulting sound qualities. None of those books, including Valley & Wallamn will have even one word mentioning this.
In fact, I would say no book written by engineers will ever mention sound quality. They will talk about noise levels, and distortion levels, but never anything about recreating the magnificence of an orchestra in full flight, or in the instrospection/beauty of a solo jazz pianist like Keith Jarret's Koln Koncert.!
For that you have to get down in the dirt with us subjectivist designers - and then there will need to be a lot of confusion and BS filtering to gain much solid information advance.
But you could start with Page 2 of the below linked brochure of my dpa300B power amps. This gives a basic circuit analysis and sonic report on SE , Push pull and differential toplogies - of course from my experience and point of view.
Happy to answer any questions this page brings up for you or others.
Regards, Allen (Vacuum State)
