Textbooks

Dobson, A.J. (2002) An Introduction to Generalized Linear Models, Second Edition, Chapman & Hall.
Dobson's text gives very a accessible account of the theory and is aimed at anyone who needs to use GLMs to analyse data. This is the required course text.

McCullagh, P. & Nelder, J.A. (1989) Generalized Linear Models, Second Edition, Chapman & Hall.
This is the authoritative original monograph on the topic; everything is there, but it is not always easy to follow.

McCulloch, C.E. & Searle, S.R. (2001) Generalized, Linear and Mixed Models, Wiley.
This text gives a concise and thorough account of the theory while putting GLMs in the broader context of mixed models.
