Book recommendation?

Can anyone recommend a great book on poultry diseases? As much as I love the online chicken community, theres nothing quite like being able to grab a book to bring out to the barn. Extra points for links.

The Chicken Health Handbook - Gail Damerow
Sometimes more that you ever wanted to know! Very useful but you have to be able to sift the info or you'll convince yourself they have every problem in it. Wouldn't be without mine though. Does walk you through how to autopsy which is great to be able to do.
