Books?
I have a book called 'Real Ales for the Home Brewer' by Marc Ollosson. It has a good variety of recipies in it, the majority of which are clones of commercial beers.
I've made a few from it, and I seem to recall the 'Castle Eden Ale' clone was quite nice.

I have the CAMRA books "Home Brewing" by Graham Wheeler and "Brew your own real ale at home" by Graham Wheeler & Roger Protz, in addition to the 2 books already mentioned here.
The "Home Brewing" book mainly concentrates on the home brewing process in depth, covering kits, malt extract & ag, and has a few pages of extract & ag recipies, while the "Brew your own real ale at home" has loads of cloned recipies for malt extract & ag.
It does not describe the brewing process in depth as "Home Brewing" but still has enough info for a total beginner (ie. me a few years ago!)
Both books are excellent imho.

I have these two plus the Dave Line. They're all very good.

I have http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/ ... 68-2615839 by Mark and Tess Szamatulski. It has some excellent recipes. Clone Brews by the same authors is quite good too.
Its from the US so some of the ingredients can be a little difficult to get hold of but H&G carry most of them.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/sitbv3/reader/ ... 0970344252 is a preview of the book. Go to the Index and take a look what recipes are in it. Its a little hard to read but you can make them out.

The 'Durden Park' book is excellent, in my opinion. I like the simplicity of the recipes.

Seven quid.
Learned a lot from this book.

(Even the mention of Castle Eden makes me feel ill, after what it did to me one night in 1986!)
Its UK. The guy who wrote it runs (or ran??) a homebrew shop in Bridgend. Apparently they used to try out the recipes on the customers!

They are pretty wacky recipes though!
