I've been looking for some good LD related texts to read for the WBTB technique. Books, articles, anything will do.
So far, I think that that the Everything2 article for LDs is excellent for this.

I personally prefer reading through other user's dream journals entries, especially dream guides like mancon who have great dream control. You should read his task of the month when he turned into poseidon, it really gets you inspired. Some posts in dream galleries are also very good, along with some more serious and long posts (there's one about sorcery that is literally many pages long, and it's related to lucid dreaming I totally recommend it but I can't find the link atm).
About books, I must say that Gateway to Inner self by Robert Wagner is an amazing book to read for inspiration. It shows the personal jourrney of the author, his experiences rather than his teachings, and it's all dealt in a great deal of importance.
Everything you need on technique can be found in these forums.
If you are using WBTB because you want more lucids then consider...
The classic technique book is written by Stephen Laberge, and is unsurprisingly called Lucid Dreaming and comes with a CD to help with this.
If you are looking for a more creative lucid dreaming primer, Tony Crisp's book, also called Lucid Dreaming is full of things you want to think about... though it does suffer alot from spirtual mumbo jumbo that should be discarded into the trash bin.
Finally, as far as I am concerned, every lucid dreamer can become a better lucid dreamer by using image streaming techniques. Win Wenger's book "The Einstein Factor" should be read and its techniques used by any serious lucid dreamer. You can also get the basic image streaming techniques at Project Renaissance, and deiced if it is something you want to pursue in more detail. (this book will keep you occupied for a long time if you are actually doing the exercises)
