This book contains just about every technical detail you would ever want to know about the F-14 Tomcat. The book includes a thorough description of the development of the F-14, a brief history of every Tomcat squadron, and covers every variant including those that were never produced. The avionics systems are described as in no other book. The only downsides are that most of the pictures are in black-and-white and it is told in a 3rd person-type point-of-view. For a more personal hands-on book, get "Tomcat! The Grumman F-14 Story." But for technical facts about the F-14 Tomcat, this book can't be beat.
