Hi Frank, this is Frank!! It's tough to name three books, until you decide what your interests are!! For instance, if you are a Krieghoff Guy, then Gibson's Book "Kreighoff Parabellum" would be a must. Otherwise, it wouldn't be among my top three!!
Some pretty good starter books that cover the "General" category are:
1) Kenyon's "Lugers at Random"
2) Walter's "The Luger Book"
3) Costanzo's "World of Lugers"
Not necessarily in that order!!
I also like Jan Still's books for period Lugers:
1) "Imperial Lugers"
2) "Weimar Lugers"
3) "Third Reich Lugers"
Then, you could get some ancillary books, like:
1) Bender's "Luger Holsters and Accessories"
2) Goetz's "German Small Arms Markings"
That would be my recommendation, but I'm sure other members will chip in with their thoughts!!
Good Luck!!
