My two cents:
Pfeiffer "The Compleat (sic) Surfcaster" - a great how-to book
Rowan - "Surfcaster's Quest" - one of the best books of any kind that I have read. Not really a how-to, gets to the heart of why we like the surf.
Eric Brunley "Surf Fishing the Atlantic Coast" (1989) - covers a lot of the same ground as Boyd.
Woolner & Lyman, "Striped Bass Fishing" - I agree it is a little dated, but an interesting read nonetheless.
Saltwater Sportsman, "Salt Water Strategies" - not as in-depth as some others, but simple, easy to read, and great pictures!
Milt Rosko, "The Striped Bass Book" (2002) - I just started reading this. Has some good current info on life cycles, migration, etc. before it gets into the how-to.
The Fisherman magazine has published several books that are basically compilations of their previously written articles:
"Guide to Surf Fishing, Vol I & II"
"Guide to Striped Bass Fishing"
Finally, I recommend Gary Soucie's "Hook, Line & Sinker, the Complete Angler's Guide to Terminal Tackle" (1982). More of a reference or handbook than a reader, but has everything.
Good luck.
