Jeremy, if you're looking for something more of a textbook (including 
examples and code) I would suggest Forbus and DeKleers "Building 
Problem Solvers" [1] It doesn't go as deep into the logic stuff, but 
it does have a lot about how to use it and deal with the problems 
that might come up in real logic-based reasoners - as they say
