The only books that are necessary to mention on a public forum are his public books. And as such I think "The Crystal and the Way of Light: Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen" is well worth a mention. Very good book that goes to the essence of the teachings.
Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu books and so forth?
The books Norbu Rinpoche wrote that had the greatest impact on me personally were the Song of the Vajra commentary, the Precious Vase, and Crystal.
Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu books and so forth?
Thanks for the recommend, I saw "Supreme Happiness" or something along those lines around. Your view on it?
Nice, why those ones Malcolm?

Crystal and the Way of Light, and Dzogchen: The Self Perfected State.

Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu books and so forth?
I agree with Malcolm's list especially Sov . If you read it closely you can find the key.
Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu books and so forth?
Other than what's in the editor's note in the 2000 version of Crystal, are there any other differences between that Snow Lion version and the original 1986 Routledge or later Arkana versions a person should know about?

There is no end to all the subjects one could study.
It is better to grasp straight away their very essence--
The unchanging fortress of the Dharmakaya."

Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu books and so forth?
I find they knit together.
Song of the Vajra Book, Thun and Ganapuja book (the latest), and some of the deity practice books - you find valuable nuggets in each of them which can be applied across the board.
Precious Vase, though, must be the trunk of this particular tree and the only one I would class as indispensable.

Re: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu books and so forth?
I don't have my books handy but if I recall correctly the Routledge edition contains some photos of ChNN doing yogic postures, which I think are from the longde, that are not included in the Snow Lion edition. I haven't seen the Arkana version. I also seem to remember that there is a lengthy footnote in the Snow Lion edition clarifying something or other based on something that was pointed out by Elias Capriles.
