In the book Amok Journal: Sensurround Edition - a compilation of articles
on a wide variety of unusual phenomena* - there's a large section devoted
to the amputee fetish. Many interesting psychological explanations and
scientific papers are to be found in there.

If you want to get in-depth on the whole missing limb issue, this book is
invaluable.

(Although I could've done without some of the pictures, esp. the auterotic
fatalities...)

*Including cargo cults, NSK, trepanation, autoerotic asphyxiation,
infrasound,  mondo film, and a "miscellanea" section with details on the
Helsinki Syndrome and lycanthropy.
