The best book I have found for flash photography is the "Speedliters Handbook". Excellent resource with lots of pictures on how it was done

I've been reading Sketching Light: An Illustrated Tour of the Possibilities of Flash by Joe McNally. I feel like I'm learning a lot! It's been an easy read. It doesn't get super technical about things, but it opens your mind to ideas and possibilities. http://www.amazon.com/Sketching-Light-Illustrated-Possibilities-Voices/dp/0321700902/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327737444&sr=1-1

Also on Amazon "Speedlighters handbook" is good.

"On Camera Flash" by Neil Van Deikerk is really good too.
