Vestibular Rehabilitation: 3rd Edition (2007) 
Editor: Susan Herdman PT, PhD
Available on most online major bookstores

Text is highly recommended.  Specifically written for therapists and quite readable.  Susan Herdman has made remarkable contributions to the rehabilitative management of individuals with vestibular disorders.  Essential text for the practitioner interested in specializing in vestibular rehabilitation. 


Practical Management of the Dizzy Patient, 2nd Edition (2008),  Joel Goebel MD

Text is a nice adjunct to Herdman's text.  Nice overview on the general management of vestibular disorders.  I found the text to be organized efficiently and quite readable.


Balance Function Assessment and Management (2007).  Gary Jacobson PhD and Neil Shepard PhD

This book comprehensively reviews diagnostic testing and management options.  Ideal text for an audiologist responsible for administration and interpretation of vestibular testing in a laboratory type setting.
Neurology of Eye Movements: 4th edition. Editors R. John Leigh and David Zee MD's. 
Available at online bookstores

Detailed text providing valuable information on abnormal eye movement and their clinical significance.  This is an area where novice therapists struggle as this is not covered in detail in most curriculums Would recommend reading this text after reviewing Vestibular Rehabilitation by Susan Herdman (see above).  This text is a challenging read.
