I went to search the archives on this, and to be honest there was to much to go through. Does anyone have a book they really like?

Effective Cycling by John Forester
The Essential Bicycle Commuter by Trudy Bell
I am VERY fond of Trudy Bell's book. Even if your specific interest isn't just commuting, her book is a fabulous resource. It's also very well and clearly written. Good illustrations, too.
Today I'm planning to buy the Park Tools Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair, cuz the only repair book I own is so old that the only shifters it discusses are down tube and bar end friction shifters!
The Female Cyclist by Gale Bernhardt - this is the only one I've even tried. She actually goes into physiology rather than "how to" stuff. I don't think you need a WSD repair book unless it is for the body rather than the bike. I don't know that it is the best but I've reading bits and pieces (my normal schizophrenic approach) and it seems fairly good.
