i think it will be difficult to find a nice book with anecdotes and interesting stories about castles in the weser area, which is in english. in german it would be easier i think, but i cannot recall a titel or so. i think the nicest book near the subject is a book in german about the weser and the renaissance, which probably will also cover some castles and has some nice stories (well at least pictures i think): Die Weser und die Weserrenaissance. Eine Bildreise.

This are the urls of the german amazon concerning castles and palaces, most books are ofcourse in german
