Without any hesitation I would recommend the Ivan Bratko book, it is so densely filled with knowledge. Prolog is vastly different from other programming systems and some of the concepts take a bit of exposition before they sink in, and this book very much strives to explain quite a lot of mysterious things. Prolog Programming for Artificial Intelligence by Ivan Bratko.

Just want to put a very strong second on this recommendation. Three chapters in I knew enough to prototype something for work that reduced a mess of C++ to a couple pages of rules.

Im general I'm tending to feel that HN likes to recommend too many fad/quirky books than those that are having an encyclopedic approach.
