The two I have worked out really well.

Anatomy For The Artist by Sarah Simblet - This was recommended to me by a friend of mine who went into animation. It breaks down the entire body into muscles and even bones so you can see what they look like under the skin.

The Nude Figure A Visual Reference for the Artist by Mark Edward Smith - This is a book full of nothing but poses, but sometimes that can be better than a detailed book like the above.
