Any of the books by Ron Goulart are good sources of golden age history. Although I think he just keeps selling the same book over and over again to different publishers.
The Men of Tomorrow by Gerard Jones is also essential.

Roy Thomas' ALTER EGO is THE essential magazine for all GoldenAge comics fans if you can find it.
Two Morrows publishes it and several other excellent magazines.
You can see their offerings and order them online here:

It is hard to beat holding the paper copies in your hand but Alter Ego is available for digital downloads at twomorrows for pretty cheap for such a book. They have started adding several nice color pages.

Speaking of Alter Ego, I picked up the latest issue this week at my LCS. Another great ish highlighted by a tribute to George Tuska.
The next issue (#100) is going to be an extra large issue and will be published on the 50th anniversary of the day that Jerry Bails came out with the very first issue back in 1961.
After that issue #101 takes a look at Victor Fox and the comics he published.
Lots of stuff to look forward to.
Best

Richard Arndt is working on a "Tales from the [Comics] Code" issue of ALTER EGO for this Halloween, and would really appreciate knowing if there are any black/African-American characters in U.S. comics between 1955 and 1964-65, when Marvel and DC introduced such characters in SGT. FURY and OUR ARMY AT WAR?
Tiny in Little Audrey, Little Rascals and Lobo have already been mentioned. Any others?
