Also worth looking at are:
J. Daniel Gunther - INITIATION IN THE AEON OF THE CHILD (Ibis Press, 2009)
James Wasserman - TO PERFECT THIS FEAST: A STUDY OF LIBER XV THE GNOSTIC
MASS (Sekmet Books 2nd rev ed 2010)
OTO and US grand Lodge - BEAUTY & STRENGTH: PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH
BIENNIAL NATIONAL ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS CONFERENCE (NOTOCON) (BookSurge
Publishing, 2009)
If you can find it, there was also an issue of RED FLAME Journal
(edited/published by Jerry Cornelius) called MYSTERY OF MYTERIES: AN
ECCLESIASTICAL PRIMER or something like that, which was devoted to the EGC
and the Gnostic Mass.
