This is a great list of books on blogging and what I was most surprised to see is a book on Adsense.

For a while I read that books were outdated, that people were not reading as much anymore. But a recent survey proved the opposite. Books are a big part of my life, and this site has been successful in opening my eyes at a number of different reading opportunities. The blogging community will enjoy several of the How To books listed, and all readers will have the opportunity to learn the secrets of many writers ideas.

There are a number of great books on the list. Some are classics from the direct response marketing area. Blogs being a great way to generate a direct response to a specific message. One book that I really want to single out is Ogilvy on Advertising. It is a classic. If you read no other book on the list get that one. Granted if you stop there you will not learn that much about blogs given Ogilvy wrote his book before there were blogs.
