Legend
It's not a gaming book, but I'd recommend Walsh & Wenzel's Kingdom of the Dwarfs. Filled with all sorts of cultural and historical descriptions, and some great art. The premise of it is that present day (ish, I think the book was published in 1980) archaeologists discover what turns out to be the ruins of a dwarven kingdom during a dig. From there, it tells the rise and fall of the kingdom and its people.
