There are a vast number of books on European wrecks - your local bookshop/ library should have a copy of a CD or book called 'books in print' or similar, which will list all books currently available (worldwide). I think the CD version can be searched on various criteria. Alternatively, try Mainmast Books in the UK (tel +44 1705 645 555, fax +44 1705 695 723) - they specialise in maritime books and should be able to generate a book-list specific to your needs. Note that books will normally be in the language of the author, so make sure you have appropriate translation services available if you go for non-english language books. There are no 'perfect' books, and you will have to use several or many to get coverage. Note that, for example, Lloyds of London books generally only cover ships they insured. (also note that the 3 Lloyds volumes that cover the two world wars cost 3 x �75 = �225 = $350 approx.) As far as diving wrecks is concerned, diving specific books are much more likely to have precise positions accurate enough to locate and dive the wreck, but only have this information because the wreck has been dived (often a lot). Charter boat skippers are the best source of information about 'new' wrecks, but only if you charter their boat....
