This iis a fairly good list of books on cricket grounds. On Lord's specifically, if you are looking for the history then you cant go beyond these two complimentary volumes.

- Lord's 1787-1945 by Pelham Warner
- Lord's 1946 to 1970 by Diana Rait Kerr and Ian Peebles

However, if you are looking for a book with lots of glossy pictures and some history then there is the beautifully printed book by Stephen Green, Lord's : The Cathedral of Cricket. A stunningly good looking aqcuisition.
