Some of the stuff in there is pretty deep, along the lines of “what is communication?”.

I’ve also read agile database techniques by Scott Ambler. I didn’t really rate it. It seemed to me to have only a handful of things to say and to take quite a long time to say them.

The Highsmith Ecosystems one I have on my desk, but having skimmed through it I don’t feel particularly keen to read it. It looks like a survey of all the Agile Techniques out there. Maybe someone can correct me?

So, out of those ones, I’d vote for Planning XP. But then, I have a couple of suggestions of my own:

Test Driven Development by Dave Astels (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131016490/)

Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321125215/)

Sorry to muddy the waters even further!
