Here is a new index of games cited in Chess from Morphy to Botvinnik by Imre Koenig first published in 1950.  FM Kevin Bachler of CavemanChess recommends this excellent historical evolution of modern chess.

I have compiled libraries from Chess.com's database for a number of chess books.  Here is a link to my libraries so far:

When reading a chess book I find it so much easier to study the game on-line rather than on a physical board. Also, I sometimes wish to see how the position was arrived at.

Perhaps we should more accurately say that Drueke was the first American to envision mass producing American chessmen.  Alan Buschmann has collected many 19th century American stationary catalogs which sell chess and checker sets made by local craftsmen.  Here is a link to his well-researched article.
