I've only read the Bernstein. It was a little helpful to me as a victim. Perhaps more helpful to a person who isn't emotionally involved with the HPD and may need to keep a working relationship going. I didn't see it as being helpful to the HPD, however.

I liked most Jeffrey Young's Cognitive Theraphy for Personality Disorders: A Schema-Focused Approach.
I believe his use of schemas are quite ingenuous, and -- although written as a handbook for therapists -- it's not full of jargon. It's actually pretty easy to read and understand. (This book is also a rather short one. Some 80 pages.)
Recently (2006) he published the Schema Therapy: A Practitioner's Guide I haven't read it yet, but its size (436 pages) suggests that there is more info than the shorter earlier version. Yet there is a chance this new book might be more difficult to read.
Another short and concise book is by David J. Robinson, which helped me a lot to understand pds. The book is called
The Personality Disorders . It also seems to be a booklet for practioners, yet easy to understand by laymen.
Marshall L. Silverstein's Disorders of the Self is also recently published.
It is more difficult to read (except for clinical case studies), but a strong point of the book is its references to existing literature.
Last but not least James F. Masterson's books are useful.
The easiest one to read is The Real Self.
I'd also recommend his The Personality Disorders through the Lens of Attachment Theory.
