For your trip, I recommend a mix of practical guides and inspiring reading. For Milan, consider “Lonely Planet: Pocket Milan” or the Milan chapter in “Lonely Planet Italy”; both are excellent for maps, walking tours, neighborhoods (Brera, Navigli, Porta Venezia), and restaurant suggestions. The DK Eyewitness “Top 10 Milan & the Lakes” guide is also great, with many photos and quick itineraries. To understand the Alps region and the Bernina route, look for “Rick Steves Switzerland” (it has clear explanations of alpine routes and Swiss towns) and the “Lonely Planet Switzerland” guide, which gives context about St. Moritz and the Engadin valley. Before traveling, you might also enjoy a more atmospheric read like “Italian Ways: On and Off the Rails from Milan to Palermo” by Tim Parks, which offers a charming look at train travel in Italy and will put you in the right mood for your Bernina Red Train experience.
