I should certainly refrain from recommending technical literature. As for me, any pronunciation dictionary is as good as the other, depending on the price. I appreciate the basics but do not want to go into details too much. E.g. I got my basic information about this subject from a general survey upon Chaucer's English in a text edition.
Most important for me is that nowaday's Queen's English (or, rather, London upper class dialect) is the less standard the more more you trace English back through the centuries. Once, I made a pronunciation guide through Handel's Judas Maccabeus for my congragation's choir but it was rejected as being too far from standard school English. HIP (historically informed pronunciation) English seems to be an issue foer professionals, rather.
