A library and interlibrary loans (if you can find a place that does those) are going to be your best friends if you're looking at getting basically anything in print. A lot of the resources we rely on are very rare.
I've never seen a book about modern slavic paganism by a pagan that is reliable.
The historical books I recommend which can be found online are Chronicle of the Slavs and The Russian Primary Chronicle. One that is on amazon and not too expensive is Ibn Fadlan and the Land of Darkness: Arab Travellers in the Far North. These texts are the closest we get to primary texts, and are all really important histories that talk about Slavic pagans. More obscure historical texts and chronicles can be found in excepts on this page.
The Song of Igor's Campaign is an ancient epic poem which has a bit of information contained about Slavic paganism. It's not too expensive on Amazon, and I have a this copy on my altar right now that I read from sometimes during ritual. It has some good commentary. A barebones pdf can be found here.
The Mythology of All Races (Celtic and Slavic) is pretty valuable because Jan Machal synthesized a lot of not-English and disparate sources, including rural folk practices, into a digestible resource. It's afterword about Baltic paganism is also really important because of its close relation to Slavic mythology. Like /u/trebuchetfight said, Eliade's A History of Religious Ideas Volume III is pretty good (even though its section on Slavic religion is only ~20 pages iirc).
Similar secondary sources include Russian Folk Belief by Ivantis, Russian Fairy Tales by Afanasyev and Perun: God of Thunder.

None of these sources are really going to tell you what Slavic neopaganism is or how to practice it, though. These are sources from which we can collect small details and weave together an actual religious practice. An example of this is a ritual format I wrote about here, based largely on the sources above.
