I'm thinking about doing a serie of scenarios/operations centered around Leningrad.

I have some maps but need more exhaustive information about the battle from 41 to 44
and more detailed maps if possible.

The first two books which came to mind were, offcourse:
-The Siege of Leningrad 1941-44: 900 Days of Terror
-The Battle for Leningrad, 1941-1944 (Modern War Studies)

both from Glantz, are they worth it? Have they detailed OObs of both sides, battle stories, some detail etc a part of the strategic and analysis stuff Glantz always does.

coming from Glantz I would spect the best. anymore suggestion? if you have any good link, with maps and all that (have 1:50,000 maps) from that area...

The 900 Days, The seige of Leningrad by Harrison E. Salisbury.
KNac this is one I Picked up cheap in paperback recently. Its title is almost the same as the Glanz one so I dont know if you will have seen it. It doesnt look like it has loads of maps or anything but it has over 500 pages dealing with the seige. Unfortunately I have yet to read my copy so I cant comment on it, sorry.
Hope you find what you need mate.
Dan Amazon UK has it for 6 quid (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0330392824/202-4116832-9644654)
