Business Planning:

The Successful Business Plan Hurdle

The best book I've found- very comprehensive and lots of helpful examples.

Written by the man behind Business Plan Pro software. A great companion to the software.

Starting Your Own Business:

The Art of the Start Lucky or Smart?
Guy Kawasaki's instant classic tells it like it really is. Must Reading! There is something very real and genuine about Bo Peabody and those traits are reflected very well in the tone of this book. He packs a lot of wisdom into a small book.
As a self described serial-entrepreneur, Barry Moltz shares the agonies and thrills of what it's like to start your own business.

Marketing/General Business:

Doug Hall's Jump Start Your Business Brain Tom Peter's Re-imagine

A very useful guide to help you learn to communicate your business ideas. Shows you don't need to be a rocket scientist.

I've been a huge Tom Peters fan for years- this is his newest and I think his best to date.
