I only have a few but A Guide to Skywatching by David H. Levy is pretty good...In the constellation part of it there's a little blurb about each constellation and suggests some of the points of interest (bright stars, nebulae, variable stars, clusters, galaxies, etc.) that you can find in each one.
In the last few pages of the book it gives the titles of a bunch of other books that might be of some interest for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
The only thing that really annoyed me about the book was that it mentiond arc seconds and arc minutes but nowhere in the book did it explain what "arc" meant!!
