Brophy's book is the best, I have looked over a copy but I don't own one. My 1903 Library consists of a $3.00 NRA Reprint that is an excellent condensation and still available from the NRA, A "Collector's Only" copy of Joe Poyer's 1903 Springfield Rifle soft cover book, at about $16 it's an excellent in-depth examination of the 1903's mechanics and available from North Cape Publications, and a copy of Bruce Canfield's "A Collector's Guide to the '03 Springfield," also soft cover. Not an expensive collection but still provides many hours of entertaining reading and great referances. My '03's serial is 801XXX and has a nice smooth action. I really enjoy shooting it.
