Before I got into Audax I read the Long Distance Cycling Hanbook by Doughty and found it very usefull - Could anyone please recomend a similar text for TT?

There is an official CTT handbook, published each year, which gives lots of useful organisational info. I don't think that's what you're talking about though.

I've read the Adam Topham book and found it pretty informative and easy going. Timetrillingforum.co.uk is another great source of information, albeit prowled by a small but significant number of trolls...

Topham's book is pretty good.  The only other one that springs to mind is Graham Obree's recent one about training for cycling.  As you might expect, it has a few slightly off-the-wall ideas in it but it does make you think a bit!

I have the two of them, alongside Simon Doughty's, on a fairly short shelf of books of that type.
