In reading a number of agent blogs, I've come across the following books on contract negotiation that were mentioned by agents and published authors. These books would be useful reading for anyone wanting to understand contracts better or who want to negotiate their own contract. I'm reading the Kirsch book right now because Miss Snark recommended it.
Kirsch's Guide to the Book Contract: For Authors, Publishers, Editors and Agents
by Jonathan Kirsch
A Writer's Guide to Contract Negotiations
by Richard Balkin
Business and Legal Forms for Authors and Self Publishers
by Tad Crawford
(More of a book of fill-in contracts for writing-for-hire and such.)
And, finally, a book that wasn't recommended on an agent blog, but is recommended on Amazon despite its age:
Negotiating a Book Contract: A Guide for Authors, Agents and Lawyers
by Mark L. Levine
