Tips on good books on Rafael

I have decided that it is time to indulge and invest in a new art book. I have been looking for a book on Rafael, his life and his collected work, but have not found a good book in any shop, so it will have to be internet. Can anybody recommend what book I should get? I would like to have his entire ouvre, in colour, and if the author is good and shows the development and tells the history of the paintings- that would be fantastic.

Thank you!

Raphael by John Pope-Hennessy (1970) is a good place to start.
