I'm looking for a rigorous book on SR for some summer reading. Preferably something that covers a lot of the stuff in this document really well,

The website recommends older books by French and Resnick, but I've been told they aren't modern enough. Really, I'm looking for books at their level of difficulty and rigor but with recent theory involved.
For my background, I am familiar with the mathematics of Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus, and Ordinary Differential Equations. I also am familiar with a few of the solutions to Maxwell's Equations and have some SR experience already with Taylor/Wheeler Spacetime Physics. Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.
