Here are a few (I think I've read them all):

1. Mars and Venus on a Date
2. A Fine Romance
3. He's Just Not That Into You (sounds negative, but isn't)
4. Fine, I'll Go Online (for OLD)

Not so much dating, but relationship oriented, as in 'what to look for': Are You the One For Me? by Barbara DeAngelis. Goes over the mistakes lots of people make and why you make them. I usually don't go for self-help books, but this one was pretty dead on.

I was going to suggest Mars and Venus on a Date too. It's one of my favorites and totally gave me a good insight into how men and women are different but complimentary together when in a good relationship. Plus it's really entertaining and gives you a good amount to think about in all stages of dating.

"Why Men Love Bitches" (I'm serious!) I have not read it, but I have heard RAVE reviews on it. Its not as negative as it sounds, it just talks about tips, tricks and advice on how to NOT get walked on and things of that nature. You can read reviews on it at Barnes & Noble and Amazon I believe.

I like he's not into you. a take no prisoners approach to dating that releases you from game playing and mental agony of trying to figure men out.

Dating for Dummies is pretty good.

Why Men Love Bitches is great for women, I agree. It's one that stands out in my mind and I've read a lot of relationship books. Although, I only agreed with 80% and about 20% was serious crap. So as with all books ofcourse, you have to use your own discretion. so much will depend on your own personality and the dynamics of your own unique relationship. Any gender books by Michael Gurian will help a lot. He goes beyond the typical relationship fluff we've all mostly heard

I totally recommend "He's Just Not That Into You"! I read a ton of books and this stands out the most to be helpful.

Greg (author) tells it like it is for us women from a man's perspective. I hold great value in the advice he gives and find it to be so true! If you really want to know if he's into you, read this book, it helps you weed out the losers and guys that waste your time in finding mr. right.

definately give Act like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey a read. No nonsense simple answers to the how & why men act and communicate like they do.
