Books on Web accessibility specifically are listed at www.uiAccess.com/books.html

The WaSP "Street Team" notes that many web design books are outdated and the books provide advice that is no longer best practice (or wasn't even when they were published). Here's their list of up-to-date books: http://streetteam.webstandards.org/goodbooks/

Note that "Just Ask: Integrating Accessibility Throughout Design" is available free online at www.uiAccess.com/JustAsk/

Best,
~Shawn
