Great list! May I also shamelessly add to your list a new eBook we just released: "A Brief History of Content Marketing".
Is a good overview of some interesting moments in the history of great content marketing, from the Jell-O cookbook of early 1900 through the rise of blogs up to the iPad. Great source of inspiration!
