Good book on being vegan?

Hi everyone. :)
Quick intro: I've been vegan for almost three years, and I love it. I've discovered a whole new world of eating thanks to places like the Post Punk Kitchen and various vegan blogs, and my omni boyfriend is generally happy to come along for the ride while the food's this good. While I'm vegan for ethical reasons, I've recently noticed that my complexion looks miles better than it used to. I'm not particularly hung up on my appearance, but it's nice to know that I might be a good advert for veganism among people who know me. :)
Anyway, I'm in the market for a good book on being vegan - on living vegan, if you like. I have Becoming Vegan, which is a great nutritional reference, but now I'm looking for more thoughts on the lifestyle side of things. When I first went vegan, I did it without any research and picked things up as I went along, which meant I made a lot of mistakes, both nutritionally and otherwise. For example, I ate honey for about a year while calling myself vegan, simply because I didn't think about it. I think I basically have things sorted now (and it's about time!), but I'd like to make sure I'm not missing anything - and also, it'd be great to have some help with the ethical arguments for when I have to deal with those annoying, "but vegetables have feelings too" people.
Any recommendations for general books on veganism? Thank you in advance!
