Robert B. Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (Revised edition), Quill, NY, 1994

Originally published in 1984, this is an absolute classic on influence and persuasion. Cialdini identifies six key principles by which we are heavily influenced: Reciprocation, commitment/consistency, social proof,  liking, authority and scarcity. Highly readable and academically sound.

Harry Mills, Artful Persuasion, Amacom, NY, 2000

A good, all-rounder, readable book on persuasion. Mills leverages strongly from classics like Cialdini to produce a general text that covers most of the bases.
