Well, this book is not in your list:

Barron David and Mike Rees. 1987. Text Processing and Typesetting with
UNIX(tm). A. D. MacGettrick and J. van Leeuwen, eds. International Computer
Science Series. Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., London.  xiv+450pp.
ISBN 0-201-14219-8

Out of print as far as I know. I learned the few troff I know from it while
writing papers and mid-terms at grad school, and trying to stay away from
Wordstar and WordPervert. :)

As well, I found the original source files for the troff documentation,
including the tbl, eqn and ms manuals at these addresses:
