They have quite a few books, there are a few on this chart. I found 'The Assassins of Alamut' to be a good introduction to the views of the Nizari Ismaili, they do a chapter summarising them. Look on the Institute of Ismaili Studies for particular topics that interest you. They have alot material there

Iv found this chart to be decent, apart from Barks translation of Rumi, as well as some of the stranger stuff near the bottom. For Ibn Arabi though, he is perhaps one of the most complex islamic thinkers, even to this day people are not in full agreement on what he meant in all of his teachings. My advice would be to read some introductory material on him, by people like Chittick for example, before actually diving into his proper writings. If you do want to actually get into Ibn Arabi himself, Bezels of Wisdom was where I started.
