Any good resources for labour economics?

I don't think any discussion of labour economics books would be complete without reference to Gary Becker's Human Capital which you may have read or heard of?

Although it's a well read book by non labour specialists or those from a background other than economics, don't let that put you off; this is not 'pop-economics'.

I remember another book called Handbook of Labor (sic) Economics. This was a commonly referenced text when I was at university. That book disagrees with Becker's text, in parts, but it seems to be a fairly well established specialist text for students of labour economics.
