Dictionary of Industrial Archaeology is a very handy one. Neil Cossons BP book of Industrial Archaeology along with Bracegirdles Archaeology of the Industrial Revolution are a bit dated but provide a good background to the subject. David & Charles published a series of regional titles on the subject but again bit dated but nontheless good intros. All are available on amazon ebay etc reasonably priced. Another one which is mre recent is Stratton & Trinders Twentieth Century Industrial Archaeology - pricy though over ?40 but does turn up cheaply now and again try Oxbow books got mine there for ?13. Theres a whole range out there for individual industries etc. Be warned though anything to do with coal mining or railways tends to command a premium. What sort of site you going to be looking at? As you can tell I love the industrial sites
