Am headed to Death Valley the end of March. Would like to get a decent map of the area and maybe a book about DV and it's trails/history. Any suggestions?

Just got done with a trip there using the Trails Illustrated map. I would also recommend following the Facebook group that updates road conditions, it was very helpful during our visit.
The Backcountry Adventures Southern Ca version is a good one to have if you can still find it. The maps themselves are not very good but has GPS locations. Even though I have GPS software, I don't often use them. But the trail information, history and the flora and fauna descriptions are very well done.
Fun Trek books are also nice. The NP site also has a fairly good PDF map

If you want a good electronic map including DV take a look at California Trail Map https://www.californiatrailmap.com/
It shows current trails. I have found it to be very accurate and complete.
They have versions for Garmin, Lowrance, Android and IOS.
