Tracy,
This is a great list; I think you've got most everything of worth here.
I was just curious, though, why you include Doug Horne's volumes but do not list Best Evidence or the first two volumes edited by Fetzer. I take it that the items you include are meant to be representative of important contributions -- correct or incorrect as they may be -- to the discussion, whatever opinions one may hold about them or their authors. The articles by Aguilar, Mantik, and Dr. Livingston (along with Wood's chronology and Palamara's contributions) in the Fetzer volumes are important in my view.
Al
(P.S., in this vein you could also include Roger Feinman's Between the Signal and the Noise, since it takes aim at BE, though I personally feel he spends way too much time trying to prove Lifton made it all up at the last minute; when he gets down to the actual questions he raises concerning BE's conclusions, he's much better.)
