The main source would probably be Panczyk and Emms' Archangel and New Archangel: http://www.everymanchess.com/display.php?id=6

However, it is a bit old now (2000).  I notice that a lot of the top players are now experimenting with lines where in response to White's standard plan with c2-c3 and d2-d4, Black omits ...d6 in favour of a quick 0-0.  I'm not sure Emms does that line justice in this book.

Also, if it is mainly the New Archangel you are interested in, you may be resistant to investing in a book, the main focus of which is the Archangel 'proper' with 6...Bb7 (this is Panczyk's contribution with Emms producing the chapters on the New Archangel and the Møller).  On the other hand, with a lot of White players these days favouring the slower systems with d2-d3, Black often has nothing better than to transpose to the Archangel in any case, so this will not be entirely wasted.
  

If sometimes we fly too close to the sun, at least this shows we are spreading our wings.

Neo-Archangelski

I've started to play the Neo-Archangelski as Black against the Ruy Lopez (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O b5 6.Bb3 Bc5) and was wondering if anyone can point me to some good books, websites, other resources on this opening line?

Thanks!

Mike

PS:  Right now I've used it in 3 tournament games against 2100+ players and I'm 3-0-0 with it.
