The Tabernacle: Its Priests and Its Services
Charles H. Spurgeon described The Tabernacle as "An instructive interpretation of the types of the Tabernacle." This timeless companion to Edersheim's foundational work The Its Ministry and Services, is completely retypeset in a modern format. The Tabernacle is now easier to read and consult than ever before. Quotations from Scripture have been supplied in the margins to paint word pictures of the tabernacle, its priest, its rites, and its sacrifices. These bring to life the intricacies of the tabernacle and illuminate its significance. Fifty illustrations depict the tabernacle and its the silver foundation, the golden walls, the curtains, the hangings, the furniture, and the clothing of the priests. These unique drawings and charts detail the form and beauty of this dwelling place of God. Brown repeatedly points out the significance of the tabernacle for the modern believer. His careful study and faithful interpretation show that the study of the tabernacle, its rites, and the meanings behind them clearly points to Jesus Christ as the final attainment of all the tabernacle's "An earnest and prayerful study of the tabernacle, and the purposes it served, cannot fail to increase our knowledge of the grand truths of redemption."

Some dry writings here about the Tabernacle, I do NOT recommend this book if u're looking at an 'exciting' approach to understanding the workings of the Tabernacle.
However, if you're looking for archaelogical, spiritual significances of the Tabernacle, you've hit on pure gold -- William Brown is probably the best yet at portraying a biblical design of the Tabernacle, as well as interpreting each equipment, the priestly services, garments, the offerings, the Tabernacle structure and so forth in the context of Jesus Christ, making the Tabernacle is distinctively CHRISTian, not a Jewish creation.
A friend of mine is basing his architecture dissertation on the Tabernacle and references to it often; also a book which Charles Spurgeon himself recommends. In the sixth edition (the newest one I believe?) there is an extra appendix on the distinctions of the Hebrew cubit (as it pops up many times in the OT) for those who are curious, as well as the distinction between Brown's biblical approach to the Tabernacle set-up, as opposed to heretical and unbiblical interpretations which were also around in the 19th century (as Brown was a 19th century writer).

I'm sorry unless you are a total nerd, this is hard to read. I'm sure its great, but not for me.
