Maybe just check github or sourceforge for games? Or check out which games are in Linux distrubutions - those tend to all be with sources.
One of the best examples might be the Quake sources.
For Irrlicht there is for example my old game (shameless plug):
https://github.com/mzeilfelder/hc1
Be warned it's been written 15 years ago and I was struggling a bit more with 3d math (especially matrices) back then and some code reflects that *sigh*.
As for books - I really like "Game Engine Architecture" from Jason Gregory. It goes deep, sometimes a bit too deep maybe. But it covers everything and is the best book about game programming I've read so far.
