1911boy,
Thor's advice is worthy, and these books are a necessity if you find that you are serious about acquiring the Lugers to make a collection.
I believe, however, that there is another response for your question.
Firstly, we don't know enough about your interests to make a recommendation. Is your interest in history (and if so, what particular part of 20th Century history), or is it in the Luger as an object? The answer to this question will not only suggest the arena for your choice, but will also point a direction toward the variety which might comprise a representitive collection -for you-.
You might be enlightened by entering all the Luger topic forums in this Forum and reading the profiles which have been posted about individual pistols. See if anything strikes your fancy, find out what makes you want to know more.
How much money are you considering spending on your first Luger?
A collection quality Luger can be obtained for an amount between $800 and $3,500. Your choice will be influenced by the amount you can spend, and the amount you must spend will be determined by your choice. This is not really contradictory, all it means is that there are some optimum Lugers out there for you, but you must answer these questions in your own mind first.
Once you do so, there exists the possibility to give you a rational response to your query--not before.
