The standard, if somewhat aged textbook for graduate study of industrial organization is

[The Theory of Industrial Organization](https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/theory-industrial-organization) by Jean Tirole.

Tirole has the merit of tacking issues around market structure in a quite direct fashion. A slightly more modern text is

[Industrial Organization: Markets and Strategies](http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/economics/industrial-economics/industrial-organization-markets-and-strategies) by Paul Bellflamme and Martin Peitz

A less advanced text that can be downloaded for free is
