Ray,

The only book I know of about identifying sharpening stones is this one:

http://taths.org.uk/shop/69-hone

There are lots of nice pictures of different kinds of stones in that book. 
Wish I could find my copy....

If you want to know how to identify Arkansas stones by grade, you can look 
in the archives:

or you can look at Dan's Whetsones guide here:
