I'd include Doty's "Just Intonation Primer", despite some caveats, it's
a good introduction (in fact I might recommend reading it before any of
the others). (The main caveat is the use of the Ben Johnston notation,
instead of the much more logical HEWM or whatever-we-call-it-these-days
notation.)

Also, Chalmer's Divisions of the Tetrachord is great. . .though it's
more advanced.

I would too. I didn't simply because I happened to know Kurt already
has it.

Chalmers' book is pretty cool.
