[FOM] Reference request for category-theoretic presentation of forcing

Dear All,
A short reference request: I'm interested in the category-theoretic
presentations of set-theoretic forcing (e.g. showing that ~CH is consistent
with ZFC).
As someone with a reasonable knowledge of set theory (inner models and the
forcing construction are certainly fine) and a basic knowledge of topos
theory (subobject classifiers, algebras of subobjects, sheaves etc.) what's
the best reference here? Would that be the Appendix to Bell's *Boolean-Valued
Models and Independence Proofs*, or are there other references? I would
like a little more detail on the wider implications of this way of cashing
out the results, in particular how they relate to category theory/set
theory more generally.
Best Wishes,
Neil
