I recently purchased "American Passenger Arrival Record" by Michael Tepper
pub 1993
by Gen Pub Co. Baltimore MD

In this publication, he has broken down the best places to start looking
for immigration records and why some don't exist, etc.

Chapters:
1) Colonial Period
Immigration; Emigration; Published Guides
2) The Beginning of Federal Passenger Arrival Records
mainly after 1800
3) Customs Passenger Lists
4) Immigration Passenger Lissts
5) Apendices
the Hamburg Emigration Lists
Checklist of Passenger List Publications

I found it very informative.
