Another book I found on expressions that was kind of useful was Making Faces: Drawing Expressions for Comics and Cartoons. If you like case study type art-books, well, I find cartoon expressions a good place to start.

Just picked this up and it's pretty great, so thanks for that! It has a slightly different take on constructing heads than Loomis that I'm finding much easier to work with too.
