There is a surprising amount of academic literature that concerns Esperanto, the language itself, as well as its history and culture. You have to dig around a bit because its spread over a lot of journals and disciplines. Beware this rabbit hole goes very deep !
A couple of starters:
On language:
The Journal "JĘZYK, KOMUNIKACJA, INFORMACJA" or "Language Information Communication" http://jki.amu.edu.pl/ often has articles about esperanto or on topics in interlinguistics in esperanto. Here is an issue from 2017 which should give you a pretty good idea of whats being researched.
If you are interested in the academic study of constructed languages, and particularly Esperanto, the work of Detlev Blanke is especially interesting. A selection of his work is collected in International Planned Languages. Essays on Interlinguistics and Esperantology.
Individual linguistic researchers also publish on esperanto. This is an interesting paper by Swedish professional linguist Mikael Parkvall- "How European is Esperanto? A typological study"
On teaching:
The Internacia Pedagogia Revuo is a journal dedicated to Esperanto language teaching published by the Internacia Ligo de Esperantistaj Instruistoj (ILEI)
On history:
Papers (and books in english and esperanto, and other languages like russian and spanish) on the history of Esperanto appear all over the place. They are published in such diverse journals that they are easy to miss.
Here is one such article I particularly enjoyed on "The Practical Internationalism of Esperanto" from the International Catalan Institute for Peace. The author of that article, Xavier Alcalde, is writing a biography of a Spanish esperantist and anarchist and his role in the Spanish civil war.
Brigid O'Keeffe, an associate professor of history at Brooklyn College has a new book in preparation on Esperanto in the Soviet Union - Tongues of Fire: Esperanto and Languages of Internationalism in Revolutionary Russia.
Of course the Revuo Esperanto (the UEA magazine), both online edition and the printed edition, is generally the best place to watch for recenzoj.
Given that the community is fairly small and widely spread, its dedication, the output and its quality is quite astonishing.
Ĝuu !
Most of them are free online. For me, if I hold a piece of paper or a book, I learn better. So, it would probably be best if you print them. There should be a print shop in your area that can also bind the books for you. Or, you could just use coil binding.
This book is all you'll ever need to pay for. And really not even that if you really don't want to. You have Duolingo, lernu.net, Memrise, and Anki. All free and all useful in their own way.
Plus there's apps like Amikumu and Telegram and all that to practice with people.
This has the virtue of being compact. I haven't received it yet, so can't comment on its worth.
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Grammar-Esperanto-Ivy-Kellerman/dp/1426428596
This book is 100 years old and is still a great way to learn Esperanto grammar (the vocab is a little outdated just because it doesn't have things like "TV" "Computer" etc...
The AMA is from 1 - 4 PM Eastern Standard Time (New York time).
You can find Bridge of Words on Amazon.

Definitely check out the Memrise course. 120 words, memorize them, then read through the simple grammar. Or buy a Pu~
There was a recent english translation that if enough people request might get an ebook: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1352000199/
Just go down to the product details and click on request this on kindle and they'll forward that on to the publisher who might eventually create an ebook for people to buy. As far as the Esperanto version you'll probably have to live with paper.
Step by Step in Esperanto is an old textbook that I have found to be phenomenal.
Epitomo: Epikuraj Skribaĵoj - estas aro de verkaĵoj pri la filozofio epikura kaj facila maniero studi kaj filozofion kaj esperanton
https://www.amazon.com/Epitomo-Esperanto-Hiram-Crespo/dp/1537679473/
La verko estas elektitaj rakontoj de Edgar Allen Poe, kaj la libro estas aĉetebla je amazon.
Aĉeti libron estas malfacila, kiam vi ne scias kie vi povas aĉeti ĝin! Ĉi tiu afiŝo kaj ĉi tiu filmeto estas merkatado. La plej simpla merkatado estas diri, kio la afero estas.
