Wow. For the record, I did NOT see this post before I made up my identity in the introductions thread. I pulled that name out of my arse and then here it is. I almost fell out of my chair reading here right after posting it over there.

Stanislavki - An Actor Prepares is great.
Meisner - On Acting is great.
Uta Hagen's great. Her DVD is actually really cool. It follows the book, but you can actually see actors stage a scene and then hear the critiques. Very helpful to see it visually.
Ivana Chubbuck - Power of the Actor and Judith Weston's - Directing Actor's are pretty good. However, they talk a lot about affective memory, which I haven't really found to work for me.
That's the whole thing that Meisner stopped teaching after Adler came back from training with Stanislavki saying that he had abandoned it.
Most of these say the same things, but in vastly different ways--which is something I find really helpful.
Each book is helpful and has a unique approach, with the same goals in mind.

Another great book is "To the Actor" by Michael Chekhov.
