This review is from: The Physics of Superconductors: Introduction to Fundamentals and Applications (Hardcover)

This is a bit of a dated text (written just prior to the Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer explanation) yet a brief and excellent treaty on the subject.

It is expressed with clarity and it is easily understandable aimed more to the user than to the researcher.
