Whats a good book about Frankfurt?

Would prefer if it wasn't about world war stuff. I was hoping to find something comprehensive. Also stuff predating Charlemagne would also be sweet.

Just searching a uni library catalogue and all but one I can find are in German sadly. But if you can read German, definitely the most charming stuff will be German books from the 19th century. Germans in the 19th century really liked to write "History of ______" books that were 91 volumes long and completely comprehensive for their 10-year second doctoral thesis. They're virtually guaranteed to have collated all the classic sources and to give you the mainstream, romantic narrative of the city.
