Newbie asks, "what book do I read next?"

Hello All!

I just finished reading "Classic Hydronics" to familiarize myself with the heating system in an old house we recently bought in the Western Chicago Suburbs. It's been a cold winter so I want to make some changes to the system for next year. I'm wondering what would be a good follow-up book that would help me to understand how to update and add to the existing system (like adding zones) and maybe fix some of the problems that were created when the system was updated over the years. From what I can tell, it looks like it was originally a two-pipe steam or gravity system (no special Ts), with radiators, that was updated with a natural gas hot water boiler and circulator in the late 60s (the house was built in the 20s). I can post pictures, but before I do--and ask a lot of redundant questions--i'm hoping to educate myself a bit more first. Thanks!
