Books for MDing and ID of collections. Any recommendations ?

[100acre]

I'm looking for books that help ID relics/ artifacts and helpful maps or books of maps. I love research and as much as we can find on the web, there's still a lot in books not currently loaded on the web. Can anyone recommend any good books for the ID and collection? I'm looking for anything from the 19th century and prior. When ordering books on Amazon, one can typically only see the covers. So, I'm asking for all of your help because you guys have the knowledge and experience from having used many of those books already. Thank you.
