You might start with my recent JMB paper for references. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2007.06.002. There are also recent reviews of free energy calculations by Rodinger and Pomes, and by David Kofke, as well as one by Michael Shirts, myself, and John Chodera that will be out in Annual Reports in Computational Chemistry that will be out soon. For that matter, any literature search on "free energy perturbation" should turn up lots of hits. I get 2,600 in a Google scholar search on the subject (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=%22free+energy+perturbation%22&btnG=Search). Lots of hits for alchemical free energy calculations and thermodynamic integration as well. I'm not sure why you think there aren't many publications on FEP.
