Nice list, I try to avoid the for dummies books due to their repetitive nature. I’ve outlined a few books that I enjoyed on my own website. Overall from your list I really enjoyed the simplicity of SEO an hour a day. It’s great for the average website owner.
Hi Srivathsan
You may want to update your list with a very relevant book by Danny Dover called
Search Engine Optimization secrets. He is/was one of the main people behind SeoMoz.
