Yikes, Laurie, that is a great list.  I see a couple I own but not many, and I thought I was a weaving book hog.

Thanks for taking the time to do this extensive list.   It's a wonderful reference.

You can find a few of them on handweaving.net, particularly some of the old newsletters.  There are many others, not a definitive list by any means! Fpr example,  I have a lot of Japanese textile books,  others may have found much inspiration in South American textiles.  The ICS books are excellent, though usually more applicable to more shafts. 

You could also add Oscar Beriau's Home Weaving to the list.
