I have Diana Nyad's books and Swiimming to Antarctica, Penny Deans Open Water Swimming, Marcia Cleveland's Dover Solo and a few more basic training books. I like Diana's best but for planning/training information I haven't found anything I liked yet but maybe you have?
Which are your favorite training books and which are your favorite inspriational stories?

This isn't a training book but I did find it inspirational, in a way.
It's called Haunts of the Black Masseur: The Swimmer as Hero by Charles Sprawson. It's kind of a history of swimming, featuring historical figures and exotic locals. I enjoyed it, it sparked my imagination, and renewed my love of swimming.
