Rating: - Thorough Guide to the Harmonica
The Complete Idiot's Guide is a very thorough manual to learning the harmonica, including music theory, history, and physiology. For those analytical minds who love to know EVERYTHING about a subject, this is your book. It's well written and educational. From what I can tell, it covers every possible aspect of learning to play the harmonica, including how to read music, advanced techniques of play (such as bending), how to translate written music to a harmonica, and how to incorporate harmonica into a band or group.
However, if you're a beginner ready to pick up a harmonica and a book to play today, I recommend David Harp's Instant Blues Harmonica. Pop that CD in, and you'll be playing in minutes. Literally! It quickly and easily teaches you the basics of harmonica improvisation.

From what I've read through Chapter 6, this appears to be a very well written book about playing the harmonica. I've really enjoyed it so far, and would highly recommend!
Rating: - HARMONICA BOOK
OK book. Its a bit DETAILED for beginners. But great if you are patient in committing your time to learn.
Rating: - Idiot's Guide for an Idiot.
I have a keen interest in music but have no training. I bought the "Idiot's Guide..." hoping to gain some insight into harmonica playing. I was entirely pleased. The authors assume that the reader is intelligent but ignorant of the subject. This book was meant for people like me.
