burne hogarth: dynamic figure drawing
hands down the best anatomy book i have ever come across. it's only $20 dollars.
hogarth has a plethora of other books too, covering everything from faces to feet.

"Drawing Human Anatomy" by Giovanni Civardi. It's short but sweet. Made for artists, and illustrates in both detailed and practical ways how the body works. Oh, and it's about $15.

I thought we were warned off of that Burne Hogarth book before... I bought it beforehand then everyone said not to get it...

I agree with those who like that Burne Hogarth-stuff, though he always overdoes things in his own style, so you end up drawing some heavily muscled greeks all the time.
Another veeeery good book is "the human figure in motion" (Eadweard Muybridge,1989)
Its full of photo series of nude people walking, jumping, etc...
But the most important tip I can give you is:
Draw everything nude that you can find.
Mostly those images that turn you on, but keep it realistic.
Then, if you want to draw women theres these two assholes (sorry, but those guys are too damn good) Serpieri and Manara,
the erlier doing his women the well-trained amazon kind of style, the latter prefers the slender girlish style...
But the secret really lies in doing, doing, doing, not in the kind of reference you use.
Man, u have internet, go find something 
er..
Thats it
