The books I have either contain history or patterns. Some newer one may have some patterns such as Barbara Brackman's books. I believe you will have to choose one or the other
Look for "History of the Patchwork Quilt", then Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieces Patterns. She also has one for Applique. For each pattern in these books she gives the sources for the patterns going waaaaaaaaaaaay back.

There is also a yahoo group Quilt History List (QHL) that you might check out. Lots of interesting information posted by the members.

Search Amazon.com for "History of the Patchwork Quilt" There are several books listed there at reasonable price. Some you might be interested in do have some patterns.
