Dear Erin, Although it's very old now, I like Duncan's Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling (Academic Press, 1975); for a more complete treatment, although it too is pretty old, Bollen, Structural Equations with Latent Variables (Wiley, 1989). I have notes and other materials from a short course on SEMs at <http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Courses/Brazil-2008/index.html>. I feel compelled to add that one should be very carefully about taking SEMs seriously.
