Investigating the Origin of the Asteroids and Early Findings on Vesta, Clifford J. Cunningham's 2017 book from Springer, covers early nineteenth century investigation into where the asteroids came from and the discovery of Vesta. Its strength is that, like Cunningham's companion volumes on Pallas and Juno in the same Springer series, it is built from primary archival correspondence and scientific papers of the period, confirmed as its own distinct title rather than a duplicate listing. Its limit is that it is a specialist history of science work rather than a general astronomical reference.
