I'd have to say Closeup Card Magic by Harry Lorayne, Card College series by Roberto Giobbi and Books of Wonder by Tommy Wonder, which is more than just cards.

Right this moment, the books on my desk are
1) Focus 2) Card Classics of Ken Krenzel (been referencing it lately, along with Ingenuities) 3) Strong Magic (just started reading) Sorry, guess that is 4, not 3. I've been sort of jumping between the Krenzel books.
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark — that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
