The `Anatomy of the Commodore 64' is indispensible for anyone who, as I do, likes to produce truly un-portable code which takes advantage of the built-in ROM routines in the 64. I'd like to put in a small plug for Compute's `Mapping the 64', which I also have, and which makes a useful companion volume. This doesn't contain a disassembly, but does contain brief (and apparaently accurate) descriptions of the majority of ROM routines. This helps in disentangling the atrociously-convoluted ROM code, and also fills in some of the gaps in Abacus's commentary.
