My purpose in writing these reviews is to provide a consistent record of my personal view of a number of NLP and NLP-related books.  They aren't intended to impart any absolute truths, and I do this in the full knowledge that, for every book I like, someone will think it's a lemon.  And for every book I loathe, someone will think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Some people will consider reading the books I recommend; some people will consider reading the books I don't recommend.  And for the record, in my book that's just how it should be.

The main limitation in offering myself as a book reviewer is (probably) the fact that no one knows how my opinions relate to their own until they've already read some of the books that have been reviewed.
To shorten this process here are 3 mini reviews of widely read titles:

Unlimited Power, Anthony Robbins
I bought this book when I was very new to NLP.  I wouldn't review it if you paid me!

The Magic of Rapport, Jerry Richardson
Factually accurate, but lacks any real spark.  There are plenty of better books at the same price or cheaper.

Frogs into Princes, Richard Bandler & John Grinder
One of the very best of the early NLP books - and still full of 'good stuff' - being the edited transcript of a course given by the two fathers of NLP when they were still working together.  Highly recommended.

Please note that a title starting with "The", "A", "An", etc. are listed in alphabetical order using the initial letter of the next word, so "An NLP Primer" would be listed under "N".  Likewise titles which start with a number in numeric form will be listed in alphabetical order according to the spelling of the number, thus "4 Signs" would be lister under "F".
