      I'm reading Refactoring JavaScript by Evan Burchard. While you are focusing on a "java" codebase, this book has general tips and suggestions that are languange independent. It's quite good about going through various code patterns and how to refactor them.

      I was wondering the same thing myself. I know it's unscientific / biased, but I usually take a quick peak at the Amazon reviews. Here's the summary, in case it helps anyone else:

      - Programming Voice Interfaces = no reviews

      - Mobile App Development with Ionic = 3.5 stars (3 reviews)

      - JSON at Work = no reviews

      - Refactoring JavaScript = 5 stars (2 reviews)

      - CSS Refactoring = 4 stars (4 reviews)

      - Interactive Data Visualization for the Web = 5 stars (16 reviews)

      - Learning React Native = 5 stars (2 reviews)

      - Learning HTTP/2 = 4.5 stars (7 reviews)

      - SVG Animations = 4.5 stars (8 reviews)

      - Working with Static Sites = no reviews

      - React Native Cookbook = no reviews

      - CSS: The Definitive Guide = 5 stars (13 reviews)

      - Using SVG with CSS3 and HTML5 = 5 stars (1 review)

      - Learning React = 4 stars (22 reviews)

      - High Performance Images = 5 stars (1 review)

      The sample size of reviews for most of the books is a little limited, but I'm planning on picking up the bundle at the $15 level anyway -- CSS: The Definitive Guide is well-reviewed (and expensive by itself).
