There have been some excellent Shaw Brothers books put out by the Hong Kong film archive, though some of them are probably out of print by now, so you might have to source them at other libraries, used book stores, etc.
This link shows some of the wide variety of publications the HKFA has released, including The Shaw Screen, which appears to still be in print. These books are nice because they're often written and edited by local scholars and critics, rather than just outsiders. Others here might have some of these and could verify quality or content.
