City of London Blue Book
 
To purchase the Blue Book, use this link:  http://thecitybluebook.com/
​A Directory produced each January listing Liverymen of the City of London by company. It provides an up-to-date guide to the City, its Government, the Lord Mayorʼs Household, public bodies and other organisations and institutions serving in the City, the City Clubs and Guilds. It also offers an extensive Whoʼs Who featuring biographies of all current Livery Companies. Buy it using the link or ask your clerk.  2 STARS

This book’s helpfulness and quality has fallen in recent years as many Livery Companies no longer keep it up to date.  It is expensive at something like £70-80.   Consult with your Clerk as s/he may have one.  
The Livery Halls of the City of London
by Anya Lucas and Henry Russell
 A truly outstanding publication of an in depth history of the City Livery Halls. Provides an introduction and an illustrated history of the buildings that have been lost over the centuries. Beautiful photographs.
