I'm not only looking for well regarded Framework Hypothesis books but also books in general regarding evolution compatible (and long ages compatible in general) readings of the creation account.
Thanks! :D

The best explanation of the Framework Hypothesis that I've seen is the chapter by Meredith Kline in the book The Genesis Debate: Three Views on the Days of Creation. You might also check Henri Blocher's In the Beginning: The Opening Chapters of Genesis. Many Genesis commentaries present or discuss the Framework view (e.g. Gordon Wenham, Bruce Waltke, James Boice) as do some theology texts (e.g. Wayne Grudem). BTW, Wikipedia has a pretty good description of the Framework View (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_view) with some additional references.
There are many, many books that fit your more general question. Here are a few suggestions:
C. John Collins, Genesis 1-4: A Linguistic, Literary, And Theological Commentary
Richard Fischer, Historical Genesis: from Adam to Abraham
Haarsma and Haarsma, Origins: A Reformed Look at Creation, Design, and Evolution
Conrad Hyers, The Meaning of Creation: Genesis and Modern Science
Tremper Longman III, How to Read Genesis
Bernard Ramm, The Christian View of Science and Scripture
Hugh Ross, Creation and Time: A Biblical and Scientific Perspective on the Creation-Date Controversy
Hugh Ross, A Matter of Days: Resolving a Creation Controversy
John Walton, The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate
David Snoke, A Biblical Case for an Old Earth
Don Stoner, A New Look at an Old Earth; Resolving the Conflict Between the Bible and Science
I'm not familiar with what is available in the UK; you can get more suggestions from the organizations Christians in Science (http://www.cis.org.uk/) and the Faraday Institute. (http://www.st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk/faraday/)
