Nice summary of the field. To be honest, I'm surprised by how few answers have come out of so much thinking in this area...

Crumley's "An Introduction to Epistemology" is just that: an introduction. Hence, its merits (conciseness, comprehensibility) relate directly to its flaws (superficiality, over-simplification). Works best when paired with more in-depth readings.
