The gold standard for books about doubles has been Graeme Wright's "Shooting the British Double Rifle".

The Gregor Woods and, especially, the Graeme Wright books are good. I would also suggest the seconc edition of Craig Boddington's book, SAFARI RIFLES II.

some others:
Terry Wieland's Dangerous Game Rifles isnt bad
the A-Square manual Any Shot You Want has a fair bit on big bore double rifles
old school:
John Taylors African Rifles and Cartridges ofcourse is a classic
The Rifle: Its Development for Big Game Hunting by S. R. Truesdell goes over the rifles all the major professional hunters used and is a good read if you like history

Yep, that's the one to get!
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Taylor's book is also excellent.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

+1 for John Taylor's "African Rifles and Cartridges"
That man knew his business when it came to rifles in Africa.

Another vote for Boddington's Safari Rifles II, Any Shot You Want, and of course Wright's book.
