The best book I've seen for chile identification is "Peppers of the 
World" by DeWitt & Bosland. It is available through my link to 
Amazon.com. It sells for $19.95 less 20 or 30%. "Peppers, The 
Domesticated Capsicums" by Jean Andrews also has drawings and 
descriptions, but it is much more expensive although it is the best 
book on peppers that I've seen.
