Are there any good ones out there

I dunno, maybe Winning Chess Traps by Chernev? It's out of print and in descriptive notation, tho.

You missed Bruce Pandolfini's 2 books in the "traps and zaps" series.  That's not the full title but you could look it up.

700 Opening Traps by Bill Wall is a good book on traps.
