Good books on Therapsids

Since I'm gonna go working on a project regarding these animals ( mainly their inner ears), are there any good books about them?

I know that "Forerunners of Mammals" is about them, but are there more, you would recommend? Especially those with skull references would be useful.

All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Here is one "On the functional morphology of the gorgonopsid skull" by Tom Kemp (http://users.ox.ac.uk/~tskemp/pdfs/prs1969.pdf) and another "The ear in mammal-like reptiles and early mammals" by Kenneth A. Kermack and Frances Mussett (http://www.app.pan.pl/article/item/app28-147.html)

You can't go wrong with John McLoughlin's "Synapsida". I haven't found many good books on therapsids either, but McLoughlin is a great overview of their evolution

Okay, ordered a copy a few hours ago.

Thanks you all!
