I have always liked AK-47 & Kalashnikov Variation, by Tokoi. Do make sure you get the English translation.
Very good pictures and pretty good reference.

The best book on the history of the AK bar none.  FYI - it's not a picture book.

This.

Unfortunately, its a super-rare book. Be prepared to spend $250+ for a copy.

It's a freaking masterpiece. It's huge. It's involved. It's fantastic.

I have a couple that I like:

"The AK47 Story" by Edward Clinton Ezell
"The AK-47 and AK-74 Kalashnikov Rifles and Their Variations" by Joe Poyer (this one is a bit controversial)

This.  If you buy only one book on the development of the AK this is it.

I'll jump on the train too.  The Gun is an awesome book and has so much more stuff in it than just the AK.  Really an incredible book.

I picked it up and I'm impressed by the size and the contents.

For those looking, Amazon currently has it priced at the lowest price they've sold it for ($47.44).
