I know you asked about a book, but the Orion DeepMap 600 rip-proof waterproof folding map is nice. I have one.

I know you asked about a book, but there are some great lists on Wikipedia, which include photos.

I got a list of them the other day. You get the name, image and some other information which is fine for me. It is on a website called SEDS I think

Another vote for James O.Meara from me . I love his enthusiasm and the pictures are quite realistic as to what you can expect to see. I like the idea of have a few pages telling me about each object, So after a viewing session I can go in a read more about what I have seen. Or generate some enthusiasm over what to try and find next
