The classic of this field of books is Abramowitz and Stegun's "Handbook of Mathematical Functions" - although the two listed names are merely those of the compilation editors, as the calculations of the numerous tables of values (and sheets of mathematical identities) required hundreds of human computers operating for years.
Ironically, on publication in 1964 it was just in time to see the dawn of the electronic computer age that would supplant it.
