You probably need to supply more information, like where you are. Amazon delivers world wide but you have to know what your looking for, many books will be geographically based.

Just when you finally think you have learned it all, that is when you learn that you don't know anything yet.

Have you seen the one that Ilco offers? Their's covers many aftermarket manufacturers of blanks as well as the OEMs. The few times I've needed to reference something, it's been my go to place. You should be able to find it online as a PDF or printed towards the back of their key blank directory.

EDIT: I see that Gordon beat me to it.

I forgot to mention it, but the Ilco key blank directories are now out of print, so you likely won't find one from any distributor. But if you do really need the cross reference in book format, there are still several new 12th edition directories available on eBay for around $25.
