What would you rate your favorite 3 Inventing books? I have read a few that I like, but the one that I am reading now seems really good. The book is called "Will It Sell?" I bought it despite some of the reviews and I think that it is very to the point. I think all inventors need someone that doesn't candy coat the process and tells it how it is. The book provides you with several analytical questions to ask yourself about your idea before you invest any money.
I would like to hear other peoples favorite books also.

I'll put in a plug for Ron Docie's book. It is a classic and I am not just saying that to suck up to Ron cuz he is active on our site.

Thank you for your kind support of The Inventor's Bible: How to Market and License Your Brilliant Ideas.
There is no worry about sucking up to me when you get the title of my book wrong:) At least the link is correct. Thanks.
Although The Inventor's Bible offers sound advice on invention, patent and idea marketing and commercialization, Richard Stim's and David Pressman's, Patent Pending in 24 Hours is an excellent guide about filing your own provisional application for a patent.
Mom Inventor Handbook, by Tamara Monosoff fills out my top three, and there are several others for inventors who want to do their own entrepreneurial efforts.

Yeah, one I really like for its fun-but-useful content is THE ENTREPRENEUR'S GUIDE TO patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, & licensing by Jill Gilbert. It's a good read.
Ron, I do have to say that your book is truly informative and well-laid out. I started reading it to see if there was anything to critique, and I quickly found myself reading it to absorb every point.
I would highly recommend The Inventor's Bible by Ron Docie to anyone. It has a great deal of valuable content all the way thru. There are bunch of sensible tips for every stage for the independent inventor, within every paragraph. Good section on tradeshows, also. It's a little too rough on US Patent Agents , but overall, it's definitely a must have.
Another good little book for inventors is called Patent Law and Practice by Herbert Schwartz. I'd have to warn you that this one is beyond technical, because to doesn't even mention most of the common law behind the policies. It is written for judges who need the absolute skinny on patent law. So, if it's just a blur, then start off with a good casebook or two. Otherwise, An Introduction to Patent Law by Janice Mueller is pretty good, and it's got a friendly alphabetic index in the back (a la Patent It Yourself by David Pressman).
Cheers

There was actually a book called Inventorship: the art of innovation by Leonard Greene. He even went so far as to invent a new word for the title which I thought was kinda cool.
