My favorite book for 1980s bikes is the Frank Berto: "Complete Guide to Upgrading your Bike." You can find the book used cheap on Amazon (21 cents plus shipping). I bought mine at a library book sale. Written in 1988, so it was a contemporary how to guide book that covers many of the bikes I like, and the state of the components at that time.
