For further study of the subject to a more advanced level, what book or books would you recommend?

Depends on what kind of things you want to study a' krub.

I took group theory three times. They are all different

First time it was pure math. Algebraic structure studying group ring etc. I don't have a recommended book for this though. We use lecture notes. It has absolutely nothing to do with physics but fun to learn and prove things though.

Second time I took it from a physics professor, he focused on finite group for crystallography and treatment of Lie group and stuff for particle physics. You can download the lecture note though.

The third time is pure particle physics application. the book is called Lie Algebras in particle physics from isospin to unified theories by howard georgi. Pretty good book. I don't remember how much I bought it but I think since it's soft cover it should be cheap

Thank you.

          I had took such a topic on first year of university , it make me lost in space. Now, I'm back and want to tell anybody about the other topic beyond above that group theory can be used in information theory and biology on structure of strange body. I think there are another applications but  one need to be guru of knowledge.
         Thank you on your link.

I've attached a lecture note concerning applications of group theory in particle physics.

I, personally, found that appendix B of A. Zee's Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell (there's a copy in the Satang Library) very useful.
