I have:
Lotus Europa Gold Portfolio from Brooklands Books
The Lotua Europa Derivatives and Contemoraries by Robinshaw and Francis
Illustrated Lotus Buyer's Guide by Graham Arnold.
I think all are available at Classic Motorbooks. I don't think any of them
are really definative. All have a few mistakes in them.
You ought to join Lotus LTD, the national USA club. There are back-issue
reprints of their Lotus reMarque newsletter which will be invaluable. They
have packaged a europa handbook of sorts. Membership is twenty bucks.
