For the Trinity try Augustine's De Trinitate

Not a whole book, but in my opinion chapter 6 of the first volume of Charles Hodge's Systematic Theology is a good place to start. See also Calvin's Institutes Book I Chapter 13.

Andrew,
Is the Edwards reference to a particular book or just a generic, "read whatever you can find by Edwards on the subject"?

I can't speak for Dr. Beeke, but Observations Concerning the Scripture Oeconomy of the Trinity and Covenant of Redemption and his "Unpublished Essay on the Trinity" come to mind.

That is one I need to read as well. I am presently enjoying his book The Foundations of Social Order which looks at the impact of both heretical and orthodox theology and (especially) Christology on society and politics.

Yes, that one deals with the Ecumenical Councils, and is top notch. The soaring heights that Western culture has risen to has nothing to do with White people's IQs, that's for sure!! It's that our world view is more correct than other world views, and the credit goes to the degree that cultures have submitted to God's order, and not anything else at all.

Trinity and Covenant
by David J. Engelsma
Can believers and their children understand more about God’s covenant fellowship with his people with his people if they have a better understanding of the inner, triune life of God in himself? Does the life of Jesus Christ revealed in the Holy Scriptures help? What have Augustine, John Calvin, Karl Barth, Leonardo Boff and others offered on this topic?
Trinity and Covenant: God as Holy Family by Professor David Engelsma answers these questions and more.
In the light of profound insights of Augustine, following the lead of certain theologians in the Reformed tradition, and on the basis of the Holy Scripture, this book conceives the life of God in himself as fundamentally family fellowship. The fellowship of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit determines the nature of God’s works in the creating and redeeming humanity. The reader of this book will grow in the understanding of God’s covenant fellowship with his people.

Letham's book was good. He outlined the biblical exposition of it in 100 pages. He then did a review of the Councils. The next section tackled theologians on the Trinity. He resisted "easy" answers to tough questions. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Volume 4 of Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics, by Richard Muller! Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet. That and Letham cover just about everything.
