That book is a classic. It's old, and some of the translations show that age, but it's still one of the most comprehensive liturgical books available in English.
In addition to a liturgical book like that one, you might want to get a commentary that explains what everything going on liturgically means. I would recommend Nicholas Cabasilas' The Life in Christ, his Commentary on the Divine Liturgy, and Hieromonk Gregorios of Koutloumousiou's The Divine Liturgy: A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers.
Nicholas Cabasilas, in his Commentary on the Divine Liturgy, identifies the Supplices te rogamus ("In humble prayer we ask you...") as an epiclesis in the Roman Canon (which is now rarely used because Eucharistic Prayer III is one minute shorter). The other three new anaphoras that were composed in the 60s, as noted by others, all have an explicit, Byzantine-style epiclesis.
