_Pidgins & Creoles: an introduction_ edited by Jacques Arends, Pieter
Muysken, & Norval Smith
    this is a good book, on it's way to being a classic in the study of
pidgins & creoles IMHO (most of the book concentrates on creoles, but gives
more than adequate coverage of pidgins).

_Contact Languages: Pidgins and Creoles_ by Mark Sebba
    (in the Modern Linguistics series put out by St. Martin's Press)
    this is a book with tonnage o' examples & textbook (interestin' textbook)
examples of pidgins & creoles. Sebba writes in a interestin' fashion - like
he is talking to & with high schoolers & college students (as opposed to
"talking down to")
