The Joe Pass Guitar Style is one that I learned extensively from and used in conjunction with Levine's book in teaching an advanced jazz harmony course at a university. All standard notation and text, no tab or chord diagrams.
I have a number of the Berklee books, but the only one I consider essential is Melodic Rhythms for Guitar, which is excellent for developing reading skills.
Another great book for reading and studying improvisational approaches is Sam Most's Metamorphosis Transformation of the Jazz Solo. Unfortunately this book was reissued as Jazz Improvisation: The Best Way to Develop Solos over Classic Changes, in which they took out the very cogent explanations of how he derived all the solo principles, included a CD of backing tracks, and jacked up the price. Now the original book is a "collector's item," but I still recommend the newer one even with its flaws. It will keep you busy for a while.
