I think PhotoSynthesis is a great book with an outstanding mix of images (both by Bryan and by several others), writing, and quotes from a range of disciplines. The design and printing are also really good. In my opinion, it’s the best book on the practice of photography out there. For $30 including shipping, how can you go wrong?
It’s only available directly from Bryan Moss, so here’s the link: http://www.lifeinamerica.us/photosynthesis.

Thanks for reminding me of the PhotoSynthesis book. Something I need to add to my collection.

Nice list, to which I would add:

“If you know exactly what you’re going to do, what’s the point of doing it?” (Pablo Picasso, quote in Bryan Moss’ book, PhotoSynthesis)

That book, as well as “War of Art” by Steven Pressfield, are great resources for creative inspiration without being overly new-agey. (If you really can’t stomach the new-age genre, stop reading Pressfield after page 100; the first 100 pages are still gold.)
