Sean Egan's book "50 Years of Coronation Street: The (Very) Unofficial Story" is an excellent read and it's now out in paperback. 

You can read my review of it here.

Sean Egan was granted access to the show’s creators, producers, directors, writers and actors. With their aid, he constructed a fascinating account of how Coronation Street became the most successful drama in the history of UK television.
