From a nuts and bolts standpoint of using the stuff, my vote goes to the
Leica Manual, published by Morgan and Morgan.  It was first published in
the 30's, and continued through the 70's or 80's through 15 or more
editions.  I'm not sure if its still in print, but its very detailed. 
The older editions have the advantage of explaining accessories not
currently available new, but still useful and findable used.

If you want to follow the history of Leica and all the models, a
selection of these can do the job.  Reading about the "NEW" Leica III
and its improved features from a 1930's edition gives a different
perspective on photography.
