I have two of Webb Chiles' books, Return to the Sea, and On a Single Wave, which I highly recommend.
I also have Tania Aebi's Maiden Voyage, and Henderson's Singlehanded Sailing.
For reference, I have a Chapman's and Don Casey's Complete Illustrated Sailboat Maintenance Manual.
For newbie sailors, I generally recommend David Seidman's excellent book, The Complete Sailor.
