I just finished reading 2 books of that era that are very informative and interesting. The Federalist Papers are mentioned often in both.
The Virginia Dynasty: Four Presidents and the Creation of the American Nation
by Lynn Cheney
and
First Principles: What America's Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country
by Thomas E. Ricks
I would highly recommend these to anyone that is interested in how this Republic came to be.
The papers were a combined effort by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the collective pseudonym "Publius"

I think the anti-Federalist papers were just as important, but they are far less well-read. To some degree the anti-Federalists lost the debate. But it is pretty clear that the Bill of Rights was a bow to the concerns of the anti-Federalists. The thing that amazes me is that we share many of the same concerns today about the nature of American government.
