I've wanted to buy this book, but it's out of print and I haven't found it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get a copy?
To the OP, the most valuable book for me was "Emotions Revealed", by Paul Ekman. Seeing a player flash "worried" when the third of a suit comes or "excited" when the board pairs has been invaluable. On his website, he sells a cd called SETT/METT that trains you to read expressions, even when someone is trying to hide them.
On the don't waste your time list, stay away from "Beyond Tells". The author sets up an interesting foundation for evaluating players, but doesn't take the step into doing anything useful with that information. Additionally, there is tons of bad strategic advice that could mess up your play.
