Depending on what your period is..... If it's before about 1800, take a look
at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HistoricKnit/files/Crochet-FAQ.txt

This is the best research I've been able to come up with -- always subject to
correction of course.

If it's after 1800, I'd recommend Lis Paludan's _Crochet: History and
Techniques_. (I don't have full book info because I'm at work and the book's
at home, and I seem to recall hearing it had gone out of print, but it should
still be findable used if not new.)
