My favorites include:

Compleat Walker---the most recent version is huge, with way too much information about everything! And Fletcher's two other books, the 1000 mile Summer and The Man Who Walked Through Time are both wonderful.

Sierra North and Sierra South--great guides.

Read those and you won't have any more time for books, you will be too excited about getting out on the trail!
