Pre-Pregnancy books...? Any recommendations?

DP and I want to start trying for kids within next few months - hence my sudden obsession with MN! We're starting entirely from scratch and before I even start talking to friends and family, would like to educate myself at least a bit. Can anyone recommend some generic "getting pregnant" books? I did a quick amazon search and was seriously overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options out there.

I recommend the Zita West book, though it does get a bit alternative at times

Thanks Yellowflowers. Which one though? There seem to be a zillion? Are they all more or less the same book?

Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Welscher is a well written and informative guide to 'the science bit' with plenty of good advice. She is more objective and less evangelical than many other writers.

Getting Pregnant by Zita West.
