Recommended Coral Reference Books

Greetings.

What do you recommend as a reference book that one can use to identify corals? I want to get something that can sit on the table by my tank and visitors can not only identify what's in the tank but also browse all the incredible species that are out there and learn about the various families.

I know the web has great sites as well, but I need something that is low-tech and anyone can use. Having said that, I'd love to hear about sites you enjoy as well.

TIA.
