Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker. There is a lot that is hoaky in there but there is also a lot of Gold. Hope that helps in some way.

Skip the term "Jungian"--that's an almost certain moonbat attractor.
Are you looking more at the analytical aspects, or the Archetype symbolism?

For right now, archetypal. I never really understood the depth of the concept until very recently and am looking for deeper information than damn wikipedia.

Oy, that makes it pretty rough. The Archetype thing is the part that really draws the new agers, and on that particular aspect, Jung was pretty new-agey himself.
I actually recommend James Hillman more than Jung on the concepts of archetypal psychology. He's got several books out that should be available at a local library or through ILL.
Go to a university library. Find Jung's actual writings. Read them. Real research always involves going to the primary source.
Apparently it is a very long list, however.
If you don't read his works directly, you're not going to find fluff-nonsense in an academic library. There will be plenty of works written by scholars there.
