Any recommendations for good business books? I figure you guys have probably reads tons of them and would be able to point me to the good ones that are helpful for someone looking to start a small business.

Here are a few on my bookshelf. I got something out of all of them.

Start Your Own Business (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1891984217/egotron-20) by Rieva Lesonsky

Spare Room Tycoon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1857882474/egotron-20) by James Chan

Small Time Operator (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0917510186/egotron-20) by Bernard Kamoroff

TechTV's Starting an Online Business (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789725649/egotron-20) by Frank Fiore

Working from Home (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0874779766/egotron-20) by Sarah and Paul Edwards

Kiplinger's Working for Yourself (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0812926455/egotron-20) by Joseph Anthony

NOLO's "Tax Savy for Small Business."

This is a good one that my previous company used. "Delivering Knock Your Socks Off Service" by Ron Zemke, Kristin Anderson

Thanks, that was very helpful. Perhaps this should be a sticky post because I'm sure there are lots of other people looking to find good business books.

My bookshelf includes:

Soloing (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0066620147/) by Harriet Rubin (the book that finally tipped me into going indie)
How To Win Friends And Influence People (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671723650/) by Dale Carnegie
The E-Myth Revisited (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0887307280/) by Michael E. Gerber
Marketing For Small Business (http://www.wrightbooks.com.au/business.htm) by Kingsley Smith

Don't be put off by the title of the Carnegie book, it's simply the best book around on dealing with people, negative situations and providing people with great friendly service. And it was written in 1936. If you're not a very social person (I wasn't when I read it), I think the book is essential reading - it's all the common sense you were never taught.

I also have Free Agent Nation (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446678791/) by Daniel Pink but haven't read it yet.

Ditto on the sticky!
