Books on Airliners

Can anyone recommend a few good books on airliners? I'm really interested in something like a design and development series that would talk about different engines, details on different models, etc.

I'd prefer a book that covers a wide range of aircraft, prop to modern.

The "Airliner Tech" series

Guess they are too specific compared to what you want, though.

Hey those are perfect! I don't mind to pick up a few volumes if they are good and these seem pretty good.

while Ive always been the flight enthusiast Ive never squared with the airliner crowd. if it doesnt have a gun or missiles theres just no sexy to it.

I have a penchant for anything that goes fast...hmm I like tanks too so I like things that go slow as well. I like things that go.

Only if they contra-rotate.
