I don't have any guide book suggestions, but found this website quite useful when we visited Basilicata a couple years ago: discoverbasilicata.com

Lonely Planet has a guide for Puglia and Basilicata but it is from 2008. I can't remember what I used for our trips - possible the Cadogan guide for Naples and Southern Italy, but it is not recent.
When in Puglia I bought a small guide - Apulia, Art, Nature, History, Flavours.
@Valerie What do you recommend?

Not Cadogan! (You can find my rant about their so-called Basilicata section on my old blog!) 
@Pauline, you probably used Lonely Planet, which is the only one that carries any detail on Basilicata but even that is rather limited compared to Puglia's section and they left off some important sites (like Grumentum). I'm working on a guide myself, but is going much slower than I'd hoped (several factors)
@Kalpana I'll send you a mini-guide I put together

Just stumbled on this site and page looking for the exact same thing as the original poster. Lonely planet's guide book is long past its publication date and old copies are selling for $50-$100 used! I bought LP's southern Italy but there really isn't much detail in it and loads of areas I don't need such as Sicily.
