Steven Gandy has compiled a mass of knowledge about most all M-munt lenses here. Scroll almost halfway down and you will find descriptions about all the generations of most Leica lenses.

The Leica Pocket Book, 7th Edition is a great resource.

What Andy said - the Leica Pocket Book 7th edition published by Hove Books. Highly recommended.
