The one I have as well as Rosemary Jay's is "The Data Protection Act explained" by James Mullock and Piers Leigh-Pollitt - it's an easy read and gives examples.

However, like most of these types of book I do have an issue with the price. It's about £30 which makes it less value for money in my opinion, but the content is good. Peter's book is good and has come in useful for reference on many occasions. I find it very easy to find the bits I need. Again though, hideously expensive but if pushed, this is the one I would go for even with the inflated price.
