Ramones: An American Band  by Jim Bessman

This is the best book on the Ramones that I have seen.  Published in 1993 by St. Martins Press, it vividly documents the history of  the Ramones.  It includes many rare pictures and a listing of all their performances.  Any true Ramones fan absolutely must have this book.  You should be able to order it from your local bookstore, or you can purchase it from Amazon.com and they will ship it to you.

Ramones Lyrics and Chords

Ever wonder what Joey is singing in "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg"?  I did, until I visited The Complete Ramones Guitar Tab Compilation.  It has lyrics (not all of them correct, however) to almost every song they ever recorded, and the guitar chords that go with them.
