While there's not a ton of overlap with eG's main practices, I found Rob Preece's "Preparing for Tantra: Creating the Psychological Ground for Practice", "The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra", and "Tasting the Essence of Tantra: Buddhist Meditation for Contemporary Western Life" to be great introductions to Vajrayana - explaining key concepts, practices and aspects of view in a way that would have been super helpful to me at the beginning of my Vajra path and which was still illuminating and clarifying many years in. Pairing these with McLeod's book (which provides a lot more phenomenological detail as seen from within the practices themselves) and many of the others you've listed has become my go-to syllabus of recommendations for folks who I encounter who are curious about Vajrayana/tantric practice.
