Advanced MPLS Design book surprises me with the intro on MPLS. Most of the ideas are exactly worded with slight modification from Davie's book. The author seems to have no personnel opinion at all .
TE's good intro is in Davie's book and Eric Gray also throw some light on it. Also consider reading white papers at Juniper and Riverstone websites. For MPLS QoS, consider Zhang's book on QoS.
