Have a search at amazon for a book called The Watch by Gene Stone - has a lot of info and very nice pictures.
I bought it last year when I started to get into watches and have read it cover to cover.
Whilst there also look for Cult Watches - I haven't got this one yet, but will eventually. I am sure that some other will offer some more suggestions.
I also subscribe to a magazine called QP - which is pulished 6 times a year and has a lot of info on new watches, company profiles and auction info.

Go to the websites of IWC, A Lange & Söhne, and Breguet, and order the catalogues.
These three are most the informative and book-like of the ones I've got. The Lange catalogue in particular has little diagrams explaining how various complications and features work.
They're also free, so it's a no-risk proposition.

CommanderJ - did you get the PH gold lamé '10,000 posts and counting' sticker yet?!
There's also some interesting stuff on the web - timezone and watchuseek are good for grazing and following leads and I think TZ has a watch tutorial; Horomundi has 'watch tv' which is also interesting if you want to fill 5 minutes.

Just received my Breguet Collections catalogue, although calling it that does not do it justice 230 odd pages hardback and only ordered it on the weekend
If only IWC would get there finger out
Was just about to make this post myself.. It isn't a catalogue, it's a hardback book of dreams!! Amazing to read..If only IWC would get there finger out
Thanks for the recommendations folks, think I'll order the Bell & Ross catalogue when I get away from this damn hospital..
