There won't be a large list of books, as the list of people with a lot of experience is limited. Template metaprogramming started for real around the first C++ Template Programming Workshop in 2000, and many of the authors named so far attended. (IIRC, Andrei didn't.) These pioneers greatly influenced the field, and basically what should be written is now written. Personally, I'd advice Vandevoorde & Josuttis. Alexandrescu's is a tough book if you're new to the field.
