Stochastic Calculus
References
I find Chung & Williams (1990) a good overall reference to stochastic
calculus, with the more thorough Metivier (1982) better on
predictability and Doob-Meyer.
Dellacherie & Meyer (1982) is the ultimate guide to any technical quesion
about stochastic integrals and the ``theory of processes", but it makes very
difficult reading. I have often discovered the answers to puzzling questions
buried somewhere in D&M.

- Crisp mathematical style. Similar coverage to 603 except for the
restriction to continuous sample paths. Lots of mathematical detail,
but not as overwhelming as some books at the same technical level.

Covers the hard modern theory of stochastic processes. Analytic sets,
section theorems, Choquet capacity, and much more.

Understand this book and you know it all. Difficult. I treat it as the
ultimate source.

More thorough than Chung & Williams, and a lot easier than Dellacherie
& Meyer B. Assumes the reader is very comfortable with measure
theory. One of my favourites.

An excellent reference for martingales in discrete time.

Covers a lot of ground by skipping over the harder mathematical
details. Now into a sixth edition, I believe.

Neat, often self-contained,
proofs, but his treatment is unusual enough to make the book poorly suited to
random access. Protter starts from the concept of semimartingales
defined as processes for which simple stochastic integrals have
desirable properties, then works towards the usual definition.

Witty and elegant. Very readable. Appears to cover only Itô

Develops enough of the theory to cover diffusions. I learned a lot
from this book. Solid classical probability.
