I've been referring to the most part to the Osprey books - Imperial Armies of the Thirty Years War, no.s 1&2 ( also there is the Army of Gustavus Adophus no.s 1 & 2)

Eduard Wagner’s European Weapons & Warfare 1618-1648, is worth getting - for all the general info on arms, equipments etc.

A couple of free history online books which are useful for background reading

The History of the Thirty Years' War by Friedrich Schiller

The Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648 by Samuel Rawson Gardiner
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40082

I'm still building up reference material as I go...
