Insects of the world By Walter Linsenmaier McGraw-Hill. 392 pp., 1972
(translated by Leigh E. Chadwick)
One of the best books on insects ever written, period. Lavishly illustrated by the author. A rare example of beautiful book design and typesetting work. Written by a Swiss naturalist and painter, an authority on Chrysididae. Many editions available.

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"

INSECTS OF THE SOUTHWEST: Arizona, New Mexico, So. California By Douglas D. Copeland Self published by author, 2009
This is a neat photo book. There is no written information, but rather 715 color photographs of dragonflies, beetles, and moths mostly from Southern Arizona. It is an excellent book to have if you are interested in Southwestern insects. Somewhat like having a miniature museum at your fingertips sans collection info.
Available from bioquip (bioquip.com) for $25
