You might try doing a search for 'evolution' on Amazon.com.

Although it's not a book, you could try talkorigins.org.

ok, thanks.

"Darwin's Dreampond" by somebody. It's more of a case study of cicclids(sp) speciation in Lake Victoria than directly about evolution, but it's a great read and makes you question and differentiate speciation and evolution.

Heres my vote for anything by Richard Dawkins, great stuff.

Yeah, Dawkins is THE leading writer on the subject of Evolution, closely followed by Stephen J Gold.

The only thing I can mention (haven't read anything else) is the The Beak of the Finch (won the Pulitzer Prize) which deals with the evolution of finches on the Galapagos Islands.
