Although they have been cited frequently, the serious student of departures from LTE should read both these:
Mihalas, D.: Stellar Atmospheres, W.H.Freeman, San Francisco, 1970, chaps. 7-10, 12, 13.
and
Mihalas, D.: Stellar Atmospheres, 2d ed., W.H.Freeman, San Francisco, 1978, chaps. 11-13.
A somewhat different perspective on the two-level and multilevel atom can be found in:
Jefferies, J.T.: Spectral Line Formation, Blaisdell, New York, 1968, chaps. 7, 8.
Although the reference is somewhat old, the physical content is such that I would still recommend reading the entire chapter:
Böhm, K.-H.: "Basic Theory of Line Formation", Stellar Atmospheres, (Ed.: J.Greenstein), Stars and Stellar Systems: Compendium of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Vol.6, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1960, chap. 3.
