Feli,

If you want the really complete reference, get Lagers three books, "Leica:
An Illustrated History". One volume covers cameras, another lenses, and the
the last accessories. It is heavily collector-oriented, so you will find
pictures of all sorts of cosmetic variations of the same item. But complete
it is (except the very latest lenses, like the 28mm f2, and some new
accessories).

For something a bit less pricey, try Laney's Leica Collectors Guide.
