And, of course, there's Constructing Accessible Websites, by Jim Thatcher,
Cynthia Waddell, and a number of other great authors!

O - And I wrote some of it, too.

How about the WebAIM Guide to Web Accessibility? It's more comprehensive
than any book you can buy, plus you don't have to lug around the 1,000+
pages because it's on CD. We have several people that are using it as the
text for their accessibility courses.
