Generally I have not listed things which only make brief mentions of otherkin. If that kind of thing interests you, you may want to check out Orion Sandstorrm's Otherkin and Therianthrope Book-List (second link on that page) which is far more comprehensive in that regard. (He also maintains a "Directory of Otherkin Writings and Other Works", third on the page, which mingles all kinds of shorter works together.)

These are some books that might sound like they'd be relevant to otherkin,
but which in my opinion are not helpful.
- Brett (or apparently also "Nancy") Davis, The
Faery Convention. This is basically a weak spy/intrigue novel with
some of the characters made "supernaturals" seemingly just for the
novelty. In most cases the characterization of the different non-human races
is extremely thin and the names of the ones that have names are mostly just
silly.
- D.J. Conway, Dancing
with Dragons. This book is somewhat less egregious than her "Celtic" or "Norse"
books because there is no historical "Dragon" tradition to
compare to, but like those two it's just everyday generic Neo-Pagan
ritual with some kind of flavour grafted on.
If you are looking for "dragon magic", that is, magic practiced
in dragon style, put this book down because it ain't it. This book might possibly
be useful for someone who was totally unaware of the idea that there are dragon
spirits out there who can be persuaded to help learn/work (human) magic, as
a very basic introduction to the subject, but that's about it. (Her followup Mystical Dragon Magick isn't great either, although it strikes me as being rather more like Unverified Personal Gnosis with less attempt to pretend to be anything else, which is at least something I'm familiar with.)
