Nice list.
As a rule, though, I don't give books about teaching to teachers. If someone not in my field gave me books about how to do my job, I'd be offended; in most cases I assume it's offensive to give them books about how to do theirs.

I would guess that the majority of teachers have little information about gifted education, so I wouldn't see it as telling someone how to do their job in their field, but rather an expansion of knowledge in an area where they may not have as much experience. I would love to hear a teacher's viewpoint of this, but if we heard from someone on this site, it would be a skewed response, since the teachers here all are interested in learning more about GT.
We had luck getting books to school staff when we were on a parent/teacher committee formed to create the school's acceleration policy. We brought in a selection of books to a meeting and offered to lend them to anyone interested. All the books went home with teachers that day. (I think I'm still missing one of those, but hopefully it's getting used!)
