Do you know of the proj4 docs?

Otherwise - the "classical" (paper based):

@book{Bugayevsliy1995,
   author    = {Bugayevskiy, Lev M. and Snyder, John P.},
   title     = {Map Projections -- A Reference Manual},
   year      = {1995},
   publisher = {Taylor \& Francis},
   address   = {London}
}

@Book{Pearson1990,
  author =       {Pearson, Frederick},
  title =        {Map Projections: Theory and Applications},
  publisher =    {CRC Press},
  year =         {1990},
  key =          {Kartographie, Projektion},
  address =      {Boca Raton (Florida)},
}

@Book{Snyder1982,
  author = 	 "Snyder, J.P.",
  title = 	 "Map projections used by the U.S. Geological Survey",
  publisher = 	 "United States Gov. Print. Off.",
  year = 	 "1982",
  OPTnumber = 	 "1532",
  OPTseries = 	 "U.S. Geological Survey bulletin",
  OPTaddress = 	 "Washington, DC",
  pages = "313"
}

@Book{Snyder1987,
  author = 	 "Snyder, J.P.",
  title = 	 "Map projections - a working manual",
  publisher = 	 "United States Gov. Print. Off.",
  year = 	 "1987",
  number = 	 "1395",
  series = 	 "U.S. Geological Survey professional paper",
  address = 	 "Washington, DC",
  pages = "383"
}

hope this helps,

Stephan
