Any good books on the paleo diet?

Many books-- but only one good one: The Paleolithic Prescription by Eaton and Shostak. This book gives you a good idea what the Paleo diet was -- & then, unfortunately, largely proceeds to tell you not to bother trying to replicate it...

Out of print, alas, but not utterly unavailable.

All other books I've seen on the subject are garbage, most notably Neanderthin.
