I recently bought a book "The Universe" by lonely planet.

I was expecting a lot more of DSO on this book, but sadly, out of the 600ish pages, the first 450 or so are related to solar system and exoplanets, not what I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, the book its really good with lots of good information, but just not enough of my interest.

Can anyone recommend some books that will get closer to what I am looking for, I understand it might be difficult to only have a DSO book related, but who knows, maybe there is something that I am not aware, at least I will be happy with a book where DSOs are the main topic.

I really enjoyed "Hubble's Universe: Greatest Discoveries and Latest Images," by Terence Dickinson.  Tons of beautiful images of DSOs with excellent explanations of scientific discoveries that Hubble's images have enabled.

Consider Gary's recent books. They are available as PDFs here, but having the real book in hands is something else. I received two of them recently and I really enjoy them.

If you're looking for a book focused on Deep Sky Objects I can give you some good recommendations. For example:
"The Caldwell Objects" – Stephen James O'Meara
"Cosmic Clouds 3-D: Where Stars Are Born" – David Eicher & Brian May
"Atlas of the Messier Objects" – Ronald Stoyan
"Deep-Sky Companions" Series – Stephen James O'Meara
There are more options for sure, but I like those books I know. I have an astronomy course, and my professor always recommends something interesting to read. I really like how he explains everything. I'm so happy that I chose this course, and I like it more than others. But sometimes it's not easy to deal with all the info, so I have to do many extra things. Here is one site https://learnerstv.org/Free-Astronomy-video-lecture-courses.htm, which I found some time ago, and there are different videos which are helpful and informative if you're a student or just someone interested. It provided me with a lot of information, and I learned new things.

"Cosmic Clouds 3-D: Where Stars Are Born" – David Eicher & Brian May

This is an absolutely amazing book. Not just for the DSO images, but for the story about the ~150 year-old 3D technology company that Brian May has resurrected. There really is no way to express how fantastic this book is.

in addition to the books already mentioned:

The visible Universe by Charles Bracken and Max Whitby is also great but seems to be sold out at the moment: https://www.thevisibleuniverse.com/ . On request, the authors give also access to their image data (althought I never tried).

If you don't mind German language, there are two excellent illustrated atlases (both from Kosmos publishing).
Bildatlas der Galaxien 978-3-440-17798-3
Bildatlas der Sternhaufen und Nebel 978-3-440-16934-6
Both are more than 400 pages. Besides general explanatory texts, they cover hundreds of DSO each on one or two pages with image and decriptive text.
