The halachic aspects of using a shabbos goy and how it has evolved over time is beautifully laid out in one of the most well written books concerning halacha. The book is “The Shabbos Goy” or ??? ?? ??? by Professor Jacob Katz z’l, available in any online bookstore and many other places. The original Hebrew version has more detailed footnotes and is highly recommended, but the English version is also good.
