Can anyone please recommend a book on the Pirc and Benko (preferably ones that doesn't try to make you OD on the latest super theoretical lines)?

There are several good books on the Pirc, but "Pirc Alert!" (2nd edition) is in a class by itself.

"Play the Benko Gambit" by Pedersen and "Attack With Black" by Aveskulov are good.
