I am currently reading the book "No Tech Hacking" by Johnny Long, Scott Pinzon and Kevin Mitnick. I would certaintly recommend it when it comes to physical security :)

And this is why an account on Safari pays off: "Unauthorised Access: Physical Penetration Testing For IT Security Teams[/b]

Another must have (pokes dynamik go and buy this one too): "Tales from the Front Line" and Counter Intelligence are worth reading as are the methodology/framework they lay out. E.g., without posting TMI:

Quote

1. Receiving the assignment – At this stage, contracts have been signed and certain legal formalities observed.

2. Negotiating the Rules of Engagement – These define what you can and can’t do during testing and their purpose is usually to limit testers to a certain scope.

3. Performing Preliminary Research – You are now ready to pursue the initial information-gathering phase. This will take many forms:
• Determining Risk – It’s important to accurately gauge the risk a project poses both to the company and to the team members executing it.
• Writing a Test Plan – A formal (but flexible) test plan is a good idea from both project management and legal perspectives.
• Gathering Equipment – Equipment is discussed in Chapter 8 but it’s important for the team to take gear that’s appropriate to the test without being over encumbered.

4. Providing documentation and legal requirements – Once the planning stage is complete you will have a not insignificant amount of documentation. We discuss what you should have and who should have access to it.

For a book like this, I'd watch Chris Nickerson's (hola) Tiger Team as well:
