How to set up IXFR?

I'll bet you can't find any.  The third edition predates the
implementation of IXFR.  The fourth edition covers IXFR.

There's some coverage of IXFR in a presentation I wrote
at http://www.acmebw.com/resources/papers/bind82.pdf,
but it only applies to BIND 8.  For BIND 9 and IXFR, 
see the fourth edition or the ARM.
