1.d4 Volume One and Volume Two by Boris Avrukh is very detailed. Numerous reviews here:

I just made this transition myself. I'd highly recommend trying out  the london system. It's got most of the elements you're looking for in a d4 strategic game, is super solid and tough for black to come up with plans for. 

Unless you're a die-hard bookreader, there are quite a number of excellent youtube videos - just search for Londo system games, and you'll get enough to play the opening very well. 

I actually wouldn't recommend "Play the London" by Cyrus Lakdawala unless you're 2000+ ; I bought it, and it's too advanced. He skips over most of the lines that you'll see time and time again as a <2000 player and goes right to the IM lines that actually aren't commonly seen as a class level player and the analysis is pretty advanced - not stuff I'd likely play nor see at my level.

At first I thought it was a problem with the London opening itself, but then I watched a DVD on the London by Foxy Openings, and it was exactly right for a class player of my level - even if he used a few of the same games!

I understand that the whole thing is being revised and will eventually be four volumes.

Indeed, according to chessgames.com, His most recent book (2015) is on the Catalan Opening. It is intended as the first volume in a four-volume series on 1.d4.

I looked at the London, it's ok. What I like to play is play 1.d4 followed by 2.c4, then 3.nc3.

It just seems like a nice space grab. Plus I don't like putting the dark bishop out to early like in the tromp.

It is definitely true that most masters/GMs consider d4 c4 for white the strongest reply . IM Bartholomew makes this point himself in his videos.  

But the London is surprisingly dangerous for precisely this reason. Against class-level players, if you are familiar with the London setups as white and the basic attacking plans, you will usually have a big edge against a Black player who hasn't specifically prepared for the London , as it's quite often that white will have an easy, logical kingside attacking setup that makes perfect sense, while Black's plan is usually much more opaque. 

As an example, Black can play totally reasonable moves, and the castle into a the London kingside attack, which is really dangerous. And counterplay on the qside isn't always the best approach and has to be timed correctly. 

A lot of Black players write off the London, Colle, and other 'nonmain' ..d4 systems because GMs commonly say 'they're not that dangerous.' That's a huge oversight at the class level - they're super dangerous precisely because Black usually doesn't spend time specifically preparing for them, whereas white does. 

Another nice thing about the London is that it's considered probably the most 'solid' of the non-main d4 systems. (Compared to the Colle, tromp, etc.) 

Then you have the choice between the Schandorff, Watson and Kaufman books, mentioned ylblai2 above. All other mentioned books or systems don't fit your requirements.
