Books on Stirling engines as well as other books of interest to model engineers can be found on the web at Bailey Craftsman's Supply, Lindsay Books, and the Village Press (which publishes Home Shop Machinist, Live Steam, and Machinist's Workshop). 

Bob Bailey has also produced a very interesting video on Stirling engines, which I highly recommend.
