The Cherrypickers' Guide comes to mind, though that's not my specialty.

<< <i>vam's >>

Well, since the VAM acronym came from the initials of the authors of that particular book, I'd say there IS only one "best" book about VAMs, right?

(Again- not my specialty, so I dunno.)

Some possibilities:
Flynn K/Two Dates are Better than One: A Collector’s Guide to Misplaced Dates
Flynn K & Wexler J/Over Mintmarks and Hot Repunched Mintmarks
Van Allen LC & Mallis AG/Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan & Peace
Dollars (4th Ed.)
Margolis A & Weinberg F/The Error Coin Encyclopedia (4th Ed.)
Brown NP, Camire DJ & Weinberg F/100 Greatest U.S. Error Coins

I would suggest Ken Potter's book,"Strike it rich" with pocket change.For one or two reasons.For one,many pages,with clear and huge pictures,and two,it's inexpensive!I believe it will cost you anywhere from 15.00-20.00bucks.Not bad,compared to those Pricey books.It's a good way to start anyway.Good Hunting!

Not a book but you really can't go wrong with vamworld.com for VAM attribution. It's kept up to date, and the wiki-members are pretty good about answering your questions.

...not a book but an excellent site if you're someone with an interest in lincoln cents.
