The old "Attack with 1.e4" by John Emms, offers an interesting sideline 2.c4 against the Caro.
You get mostly IQP style and hanging pawns positions, but Emms has original suggestions in most of them. It's not the most topical way to fight the Caro, but it doesn't require tons of work to get started.
If you prefer to go with the popular advance variation (which may be the best practical choice at amateur level), I think there is a repertoire by Sam Collins featuring it, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm planning to switch back to 1.e4 soon. I'm looking forward to meeting the Sicilian, there are plenty of books on the Ruy that I should finally learn. Against the French I have some ideas (although good suggestions for repertoire books are still welcome).
But are there any good repertoire books for White against the Caro? I need lines that I can understand well (and that are hopefully explained well...), they don't need to be extremely sharp.
I'll wing it against the rest, mostly.
