Haiku?

Are there any fans or fanatics of Japanese poetry here who can recommend me books both of and on Haiku? I've always been fascinated by the distilled brevity of Haiku, but haven't gotten around to really checking into it before now. So far I only have an old copy of Peter Beilenson's "Japanese Haiku", but I'd like to pick up a good book on its history, as well as some collections of the acknowledged masters from Basho to Shiki.

E-books if possible, but paper books are certainly also of interest.
