The Little Book of Speaking Off the Cuff.
The tips and techniques needed for what most people fear: speaking of the cuff, table topics, impromptu speaking, speaking without preparation.
I can see you naked
A book with a catchy title. As well as some great nuggets for your presentation skills. E.g.: "You want to stand up when you're in a group people because it gives you authority ...."
Slide: ology: The Art and Science of Presentation Design
If you want to know how to design top class slides, then this is the book for you. However, in my opinion for most users of PowerPoint or Keynote it goes far beyond what is needed on an everyday basis. If anyone is going to make a slide show as great looking as recommended in the book, it is probably best to hire the author to do it.
Presenting to Win
Jerry Weissman's book is all about how to win a beauty contest, i.e. to get the job when competing against other presenters. I particularly liked the ideas about internal and external links.
Presentation Zen
Great ideas of how to reduce the amount of text and information on a slide.
Say it with presentations

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change
This book had a huge impact on me: It is the reason I have my own company today. Stephen Covey shows how to set goals and make them a reality. If you want to stay the same as you are, then don't read it. I read it three times already. Everytime some other great stories and examples resonate with me.
