Content Strategy for the Web by Kristina Halvorson
This is a book I recommend to every person who handles content for a website. Many of the lessons apply beyond the web, too. Kristina Halvorson, the author, also has a wonderful podcast and is a main contributor to the annual Confab conference. See: contentstrategy.com
