Summary: Cover Letter Basics by the Industry's Best
Comment: This book contains all you need to know about cover letters, and in a pretty digestable format (a la the dummies series). The author cuts to the chase, throws in some humor, and gives plenty of options for ways to grab your audience's attention. Works for me. I've actually read quite a few books on cover letters (lots of free time while unemployed) and this one stands out to me--at least it's the one I keep on my bookshelf.
