Bode's Law and the Discovery of Juno: Historical Studies in Asteroid Research, Clifford J. Cunningham's 2017 book from Springer, examines the discovery of the third asteroid, Juno, and its relationship to the Bode's Law prediction of a planet between Mars and Jupiter. Its strength is that it draws on extensive archival correspondence, confirmed as a distinct, separately reviewed volume alongside Cunningham's companion books on Pallas and Vesta in the same Springer series, not a duplicate of either. Its limit is that it is a specialist history of astronomy, not a general reference on the asteroid belt.
