Character and Neurosis, by Claudio Naranjo.

Oceanmoonshine is by far the best site, as far as overall veracity and reliability of information goes. Enneagraminstitute is decent, but can get a bit generic. And enneagrambook has some good profiles. A less reliable, but interesting site, is esper's blog (enneagramblogspot). It is sort of a conglomeration of information from other sites, mingled with various other insights.
And yeah, that book is a must have. It doesn't focus on the (pseudo) spiritual aspect that so many of Riso & Hudsen's works do. Instead, it delves into the deeper psychic fixations (and disorders lol—correlations with the DSMV) and uproots them in a surprisingly direct way.

Sorry. I feel like an ass for not linking it, lol.

To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach.
I'm kinda against the usage of the word 'spiritual' on that site, as in what context? It just seems to leave the whole thing up for discrimination/bias, but no system is protected from that I guess. I just think it should take an atheistic, scientific approach as much as possible.
But cool site nonetheless, I'm reading it right now.

But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
'Personality Types' by Riso and Hudson goes into a lot of detail about how each Type manifests, from highly psychological healthy states, through the range of typical personality experienced in day-to-day life, to deeply neurotic conditions. It doesn't go into detail about Instinctual Stackings for each Type, though.
