I really like Dressage In Harmony too.

Fiona has kindly allowed me to indulge my love of books by creating a book review section on the site (under the editorial tab) & there will be lots of dressage books featuring.

I have quite a few of these and whilst you can never beat pratical riding, they are great as a background.

My favorite so far has to be Dressage in Harmony - Walter Zettl.
