Psocopteres euro-meditarraneens Faune de France 3
By Charles Lienhard Museum d'histoire naaturelle de Geneve (Suisse), 1998
If you are really interested in "Psocoptera" this book is very useful. Even though it is in French, the illustrations are extremely good and very helpful with difficult identifications. I could not function without it.
North American Psocoptera provides a complete review of the 28 families, 78 genera and 287 species of the order Psocoptera found in the United States and Canada.This comprehensive book contains keys to all of the known taxa of Psocoptera which have been found in the study area, including three genera named as new. Not only are the native and established species included, but also those which have been taken at ports of entry in human commerce. The book contains differential diagnoses of the taxa above species level.

Entomology for beginners: for the use of young folks, fruit-growers, farmers, and gardeners

This little volume is an interesting glimpse into the science of entomology in the late 1800s, but today it is most useful as a source of public domain figures. Available online at Biodiversity Heritage Library
