Also anything and everything by Derek Piggott. Oh, and Reichmann.
Happily for gliding enthusiasts there are loads of very good books, inspirational and theoretical, for beginners to get stuck into. Pretty much anything with the word gliding in the title is worth reading.
I found this was in marked contrast to books for beginners in power flying which tend to be exam-passing manuals in the main and totally uninspirational. This probably says something about the intellect and emotional make-up of glider pilots versus power pilots... (There are notable exceptions to this rule, of course, Stick and Rudder and the writings of Richard Bach come to mind, but they are exceptions).
