Got both editions of Brians book. I actually found the 2003 edition better - gave me a better understanding of All Sky photometry but the 2006 edition is more concise and compact.

Hendens book is good but most of it is really is aimed at Photoelectric photometry.

HAIP is a good book as well.

The one thing that amazes me is how many amateurs baulk at doing photometry. For most of us, precision all sky photometry is pie in the sky since we (well at least me) don't get that many photometric skies and Differential Photometry is quite simple and very straight forward.
