Books about PhDing

A while back, I read a couple of books about doing the PhD, the dissertation in particular. Both of my were written with the British system in mind but would apply to American PhDs, too. My favorite of the two was Patrick Dunleavy's Authoring a PhD: How to Plan, Draft, Write, and Finish a Doctoral Thesis or Dissertation. I think I need to read it again.

The other book was How to Get a PhD: A Handbook for Students and their Supervisors (Phillips and Pugh). I don't remember it as well, so I don't think it did that much for me. I remember seeing a couple of other similar books that seemed interesting, but didn't get around to reading them.
