Its not exactly what you're looking for, but I totally recommend the TapeOp book ( http://www.tapeop.com/shop/tapeopbook.php ). It has a lot of good mix recipes and tons of inspiration. It also has that sixties, large-format book feel that I adore. (Although, sadly its not printed on recycled paper.)
Mixing is awful annoying. I recommend three-hour chunks, followed by a day of off. Mixing shouldn't take longer than tracking did, but it sometimes does anyway.
One thing that's in the Katz book that I'll take a moment to emphasize is parallel compression. It is the shizzy. Dry on one track, a compressed version of same on another. Blend to taste. All the punch, all of the detail. Its been helping me out a lot.
Snare, kick and bass. If you can get those sorted, the rest usually falls together. Give beta discs out freely to interested parties (and not just musicians either!) and listen to the comments. Everyones' ears, taken together are far superior to just your own, excellent as they are.
