Robinson, Washington Standard
Hardy, Standard Bidding for the 21st Century and Advanced Bidding for the 21st Century
Rosenkranz, Bid to Win, Play for Pleasure (this is Romex, a 2/1 system at heart, but certainly not "standard"). Godfrey's Bridge Challenge, Godfrey's Stairway to the Stars and Godfrey's Angels provide a good, entertaining, and fairly painless introduction to the system, particularly the first listed. Stairway presents the "Romex Forcing Club", a Precision variant, as part of the "Two Card" Romex system - at pairs, Romex when vul, Romex Forcing Club non-vul. You could skip this one if you're not interested in RFC, though I was fascinated at the care taken to keep potential memory problems to a minimum - successfully, imo. The third book (Angels) has some tweaks to both systems, plus a discussion of defensive and competitive methods that's worth reading.

Our ultimate goal on defense is to know by trick two or three everyone's hand at the table. -- Mike777
I have come to realise it is futile to expect or hope a regular club game will be run in accordance with the laws. -- Jillybean
