For serious study, the Arizona University (Tucson)solar system series
(I think it was them) has a thick book on many properties of Mercury.
But if I recall correctly (read it last year) it was published in
1988. It didn't have any details on the ice on the polar zones bit.

Also unclear is whether Tom Gehrels chaired it.

This series is one of the best references for serious studies
of Mercury and also for other planet bodies. The Mercury book
had about 800 pages. It had highly technical language and mainly
dealt with teneous atmosphere composition, cratering, old basaltic
lava flows, etc. The basics are buried in the details.
