I'd suggest to completely avoid Heavier Than Heaven. Courtney helped with the book and pretty much told Charles Cross what to write and what not to write and threw in some bullshit for good measure. Charles Cross never even met Kurt; Compare that to Michael Azzerad, who interviewed Kurt for months when he was about to write Come as You Are.
The CAYA book is a little bit too "Nirvana are the best band ever! They never do anything wrong! Kurt is the best person to ever live!" at times, but if I had to recommend any Nirvana book, that would be it.
EDIT: I second the Everett True book.
