First Book I'd like to recommend is 'Your Word is Truth': Essays in Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (1950, 1953), Edited by Anthony Byatt and Hal Flemings. (Aurora, MO: Stoops Manufacturing Co., 2007)
Table of Content:
1. Some Principles and Features of the NWT by Anthony Byatt
2. Use of the Divine Name in the Christian Greek Scriptures by Hal Flemings
3. Matthew 1:23- 'Immanuel' by David Jakubovic
4. 'Triadic' Forumlae in the NT by David Jakubovic
5. Proverbs 8:22- God's Wisdom: An Acquired Attribute, or God's Created Son? by Nelson Herle Jr
6. The Eschatological Discourse of the Messianic Parousia by Edgar Foster
7. "Impaled on a Stake"- A Result of Sectarian Bias? by Pal-Espen & Dan-Ake Mattsson
8. Distinguishing the 'Lords': Does Jesus Take Jehovah's Name? by Anthony Byatt

13. Disputed Renderings in the Hebrew Scriptures by Hal Flemings
14. The Accuracy of the NWT in Paul's Letter to the Ephesians by Anthony Byatt
Overall, this is a great resource for defending the NWT in a scholarly fashion. A note though, if you try to buy on Amazon.com, you may be spending 3 or 4 times the amount you'd be spending if you contacted StoopsManufacturing directly.
The second book, and last for the sakes of brevity, is Brian Holt's, Jesus- God or the Son of God?: A Comparison of the Arguments (Tennessee: TellWay Publishing, 2002). In this helpful and useful book, Brian Holt (one of Jehovah's Witnesses), gives brief and reasonable responses to most (if not all) of the major key texts that Trinitarians bring up against the 'unitarian' position, thus providing a survey and a balanced treatment of the 'comparison of the arguments.'
