  Number one would be The Whole Chile Pepper Book by Dave DeWitt
and Nancy Gerlach, published by Little Brown in 1990. This one
has it all. History, color pictures, descriptions, extensive
bibliography, recipes, growing suggestions.
  A distant second would be Peppers, The Domesticated Capsicums
by Jean Andrews, Univ of Texas Press in 1984 (there is a newer
edition). No photographs but nicely done color drawings. This
one is more scholarly. History, identification methods, extensive
descriptions of each type, review of the literature, noted
personalities, classifications, biology.
