For people who understand German: "Der magische Spiegel" by Pieter Coll, published in 1967 (so only at antique book stores available), is an excelent source, mostly from the german point of view, but of course the author has not forgotten to write a chaper about Baird and his experiments. Even if this book is about the story from the very beginnings until Walther Bruch and his PAL colour-TV, more than half of the book is about mechanic TV.
