A thread on my favorite books about Ida Lupino and her career...
Ida Lupino: Beyond the Camera by Mary Ann Anderson
Closest we will ever have to a Lupino memoir. Thin on detail prior to 1983, and some of her early career info appears chronologically inconsistent—likely relying on Ida's memory decades later. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39859341-ida-lupino

Ida Lupino: A Biography by William Donati
A wonderful, detailed bio, published shortly after Ida's death by an author who respected her. From Anderson's book, you learn that Ida and Donati had a falling out. You would never know from reading his book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/250268.Ida_Lupino

The Making of the Hitch-Hiker, Illustrated by Mary Ann Anderson
Lots of fun details and photos on how this great movie was put together by Ida, Collier Young, and their production company The Filmakers. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19519008-the-making-of-the-hitch-hiker-illustrated

Mr. Adams and Eve, Illustrated by Mary Ann Anderson
The definitive source on Ida Lupino's sitcom with Howard Duff from 1957-58. The only problem is it doesn't include any way to watch the shows! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11064539-mr-adams-eve

There are a couple older books on Ida I haven't yet obtained, but these above are all fascinating and very worthwhile reads for anyone interested in learning more about Ida Lupino. If anyone has other suggestions, please add them!
