What books to read on body language?

Read a short book recently called Signals by Allan Pease, a brief illustrated text that had a lot of basic body language stuff in it, some stuff the same as Caro's book IIRC.

Anyone know of any heavy texts on body language including eye movement and things?

Not really for poker, although I'm sure it'll come into things in a small way, I'm just really interested in this stuff at the moment.

I have been looking into these books too. You might want to do a lookup on Amazon. Try Paul Ekman & his books called,
"Emotions Revealed" & "Telling Lies"

Another author, Jo-Ellan Dimitrius

Let me know if you find anything else. I am eager to read anything I can on this subject.

Not sure if this falls within your interests, but Susan Goldin-Meadow has written several books about her studies of hand gestures and other aspects of non-verbal communication. You can do an Amazon search on her, or check out her web page at http://goldin-meadow-lab.uchicago.edu/ which gives some information on her research and publications.
