Good tactics books

I've always heard that a good way to train is to get a book of tactics problems and do them over and over until you instantly recognize the patterns.

Does anyone have any books they would recommend for that purpose? I'd like to get one that has a lot of puzzles, and preferably isn't too pricy.

Chess Tactics for students by John A. Bain, $14.95.  You'll probably have to order direct from him.   I believe this is the first book of tactics on a number of lists, including Dan Heisman.  I'm more of a computer training guy so I do most of my tactics with the Tactics Trainer here, but it has been my faithful companion on many a bus or subway ride.
