In the most recent issue of Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, Marian Burright (Collection Management Librarian for Life Sciences, University of Maryland) reviews the book "The Access Principle: The Case for Open Access To Research and Scholarship" written by John Willinsky.
In his book, John Willinsky explains the advent of open access and situates OA within the economics of scholarship by covering online journal publishing, copyright law issues, alternative publishing venues as well as the ten "flavors" of open access and their economic models.
As Marian Burright highly recommends this read to every academic librarian, follow this link for the complete book review: http://www.istl.org/06-summer/review2.html
