Best book to manage programmer/dev team?

I'm a dev myself but managing a team of programmer/dev is a different ball game. I've been doing it for sometime now but still dev is a bunch of cats, if you know what I mean.

So what are some of the best books (or learning resources) you actually read that helped you for real?

I know the usual suspect, Peopleware and I plan to buy if it's wasn't the fact that it's a bit old.

Peopleware is fairly timeless. You don't necessarily have to agree with it, but you should probably read it if only to baseline the decisions you make.

Another timeless option would be The Mythical Man-Month
