Edward CAN read Alice's and Jasper's minds. In fact Bella tells the reader that Edward and Alice played chess...Edward would read Alice's mind...Alice would read the future to know Edward's move. They had actually moved only a couple of pawns when Alice realized Edward would win...so she gave up. It also says that Jasper is one of the best fighters due to his past experiences. However, Edward is able to read Jasper's mind...and knows what Jasper will do. AND...the reason why Edward didn't read Rosalie's or Alice's minds in NEW MOON was because he was in South America. Rosalie phoned Edward and told him that Bella had killed herself. Edward then called Bella's house and talked with Jacob...Jacob made Edward think Bella was dead. But Edward couldn't read Jacob's mind either at that time....because they were talking over the phone. Although Edward CAN read everybody's mind (minus Bella), he can't read minds over a phone.
