Art Consulting Books and Reading

Art consulting is a relatively new field to start or continue a career in so it's hard to find first hand tips or advice on how to become an art consultant or adviser. However, I find that reading about other people's experiences or books can always help to get an idea of what is expected. Here's a reading list that can clarify some of the mysteries of the art world.
