      You can see my comment below for a short list. Art of the Start is a great place to begin. It covers everything with a very pragmatic approach and is very easy to read. "The Power of Unfair Advantage" is a great book that I don't often hear people talking about. I just don't think it's that well known. I highly recommend it.
