While Jahnavi has given a comprehensive list, I'd specifically pick Janki Nair's The Promise of a Metropolis, Meera Iyer's Discovering Bengaluru, and Fazlul Hasan's Bangalore Through the Centuries (thanks to fellow Silklister Naresh Narasimhan for bringing out a sparkling new edition of this book) as personal favourites.

And if you can read Kannada, do check out Bengaloorina Itihaasa by Ba Na Sundar Rao.

Attached is a selected list of books about Bangalore. I put this together in 2023 and a few books have appeared since then which are not in here. 

Warmly,

Silklister Chris Kelty was asking about books to learn more about Bangalore's history. I thought this would be a good question to ask the hivemind.

Tell me your suggestions, O Wise Ones.
