Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook by the USCG gives a pretty thorough rundown of the COLREGS. That was on my list in the original post.

I assume Chapman's is considered superior to the Annapolis Book of Seamanship (which I purchased because it was the required course reading for ASA 106, but I note it takes shortcuts like summarize rules of the road as they apply to sailing vessels, not list all of them)
