The Book of Jubilees, James VanderKam's 2001 guide from Sheffield Academic Press, part of the Guides to the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha series, is the standard critical introduction to the ancient Jewish text of Jubilees. Its strength is that VanderKam is a leading specialist in Second Temple Jewish literature and this is a widely used standard academic introduction. Its limit is that it is an introductory guide rather than a full critical edition, so a claim resting on Jubilees' precise textual wording should be checked against a scholarly edition of the text itself.
