Dick Williams - Black Book (Trapps - out of print, damned near impossible to find; others are common)

Dick Williams - Select (out of print, can be found upon occasion)

Todd Swain - Gunks Guide (with the picture of a climber on Foops on the cover); was out of print, but recently was printed again due to the fact that the new Williams guide was delayed.

You can find the Swain and possibly the Williams books at Rock & Snow.

Michael Chessler has some of the Swain Gunks guides.

I bought one recently from him since I thought I lost mine. Now it turns out my partner just stole it.

Also, don't forget, if you will be in the Uberfalls area or along the carriage road during the weekend, you can just look at the book the team on the route to either side of you is using.
