Species Tipula disjuncta
The families and genera of North American Diptera By Charles H. Curran
An interesting old book, 512 pages. Available as a free download from this web page (...but be forewarded: The PDF is a whopping 33MB!). I get the feeling this work may be a bit of a "classic" in the literature of NA diptera. A biographical summary on the author appears here.

Nomenclature is dated, of course. One nice feature is range information.

The Flies of Western North America By Frank R. Cole and Evert I. Schlinger
University of California Press, 1968
Although out of print, and in some respects out of date, I have consulted this tome numerous times where I had nothing else available. It has been a very valuable resource.
Since this book is out of print, the Amazon link doesn't seem to work. See here for internet availability: 1.

Insects of Algonquin Provincial Park By Steve Marshall
Friends of Algonquin Park, 1997
This book is very cheap and useful for anybody living near to Algonquin Provincial Park. Although it is a short book its 8X11 size makes it difficult to take out into the field.
Steve Marshall nine year later hugely expanded the book to create his "Insects: Their Natural History And Diversity: With a Photographic Guide to Insects of Eastern North America"
