infact this company have a free book that you can order if you are in certain countries http://smartbear.com/codecollab-code-review-book.php
this should help out a little to get you started

I couldn't think of a book on Managing Software where I thought code reviews were covered well. That's a good link. Here's another one that sums it up quickly: http://www.developer.com/tech/article.php/3579756/Effective-Code-Reviews-Without-the-Pain.htm

A:
- Clean Code - helps you write (and refactor towards) better code
- Software Inspection - treats inspection in general, not just code reviews

A:
- "Code Complete" by S. McConnel - provides thorough answers on many of coding questions
- "Refactoring" by M. Fowler (especially, chapter about code smells) - describes standard coding problems and ways to resolve them
- "Agile software development" by R. Martin - provides detailed info on OO programming/design questions

Books with best practices for coding:
If you want to do good code reviews, you should also look to tools to support you. For the Java platform these should be on you're short list: PMD, Findbugs, Sonar and Checkstyle. Some good books on these tools:
