I really did a lot of research in preperation for our Yellowstone trip...internet articles and sites, maps, movies and books, but "The Ranger's Guide to Yellowstone" was the single most helpful thing I read. This book was so great that I made everyone who was going with us, all 6 families, read it before we left! If you're even thinking about a trip to Yellowstone, buy this book first!

This is a nice reference guide however I found it more interesting after we had visited different sites in the park. Lots of historical tidbits that don't help differentiate sites until after you have viewed them.
