Ttrader;
Amoung the best are 3 top trader books/Jack Schwager, and
elitertader.com,
books,
topline this green page.
 
I found "McMillan on Options", by Lawrence G. McMillan to be very informative. A little advanced in parts but all the strategies are all there, with antidotal stories for each.
 
My three recommendations:

Options as a Strategic Investment by McMillian- the bible of option trading and will cover all strategies and option basics and advanced topics. Great all around text. One-stop shopping.

Option Volatilty and Pricing by Natenberg- great book on option volatility and the greeks which are a must to understand for succesful trading.

The Option Trader Handbook:Strategies and Trade Adjustments by Me (Philip Budwick) - advanced book focusing on adjustments to make to stock or option positions using options to lock in a profit, hedge your positions, increase your returns or limit your loss. Great way to learn how to add options to your stock positions for better risk management or how to trade options and make adjustments. Bias from me obviously but i think it is still a good book.
