Wittgenstein (2nd edition), by Robert Fogelin. (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1987).

The second edition of this book is notable for its long discussion of Kripke's view (basically Fogelin compares and contrasts his view with that of Kripke), as well as an interesting discussion concerning who was the first to espouse the sceptical paradox/sceptical solution view of Wittgenstein, Kripke or Fogelin? See especially fn. 10 on p. 241. Fogelin's account, however, repeats several of Kripke's mistakes.
