Boy - Venema's affordable, but the Van Asselt book (at Amazon at least) is going to cost a pretty penny! (18,000 of them, plus shipping!)
There are cheaper copies of Van Asselt's book to be found at Bookfinder.com.

It is also available online at Google Books for limited preview:

The Federal Theology of Johannes ... - Google Book Search

Likewise, McCoy/Baker:

Fountainhead of Federalism: Heinrich ... - Google Book Search

FWIW, There was another thread recently where I recommended a few books on federal/covenant theology:

CT books please
