I deepened my understanding of sock construction by taking a class called "design your own socks" by JC Briar. It's a good class and I think she's in your neck of the woods. In the class she recommended the following other resources:

• Cool Socks, Warm Feet, Lucy Neatby-patterns, tops, tips
  
• Ethnic Socks and Stockings, Priscilla Gibson-Roberts-Eastern socks, toe-up, with inserted heels, historical, several toes and heels covered. charts. "inspirational".
  
• Folk Socks, Nancy Bush-Western Europe socks, history, and patterns based on historical examples. flap and gusset heels.
  
• Knit Socks! Betsy McCarthy-patterns, some in worsted weight. tips. suggestions for ways to use self patterning yarns.
  
• Ribbing Plain & Fancy Slayton-booklet, mini stitch dictionary, design advice
  
• Sensational Knitted Socks, More Sensational Knitted Socks Charlene Schurch-many sizes, gauges, stitch patterns arranged by size
  
• Simple Socks, Plain & Fancy, Priscilla Gibson-Roberts-Unusual short-row method using yarn overs and decreases
  
• Simply Socks Anna Zilboorg-Turkish socks (toe up)
  
• Socks, Socks, Socks, Elaine Rowley-70 varied patterns
  
• Designing Knitwear, Deborah Newton

People have also recommended Cat Bordhi's books (Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles and New Pathways for Sock Knitters); I haven't investigated them myself.

My local library has Folk Socks and New Pathways for Sock Knitters so I've put them on hold.
