that all depends what you are after..
the Carrol smith books are always popular, and for even more techy (and less applicable perhaps) are the old P.Smith books.

I just bought A. Graham Bell's Modern Engine tuning. I haven't read yet more than first two chapters but this book looks seemly book of basic theory.

20th century performance is OK, but not the best, i definately learned a few things from it, but the author's unscientific methods and assumptions leave something to be desired.
having bought it, it is a book i would rather have borrowed.
i very, very highly reccommend maximum boost, by coky bell, this is the best resource on turbocharging i have come across.
you can tell if a book is any good pretty quickly by thumbing trough it at your local technical bookshop, dotn be afraid to buy anything that looks good as you will learn heaps by it.
buy all and any of carrol smith's books, i still need to do this, i borrowed them from my uni library (engineer to win and tune to win) they are very good.
