I've gone through Javascript: The Good Parts and currently reading Javascript Patterns, but would like to do some in-depth reading on Protoypal Inheritance. It doesn't have to be a JS book but if it then it would be a bonus. I want to read more about how it came into existance and what are its important tenets rather than just reading a single chapter on what it is. Any suggestions?

There's only 1 real answer to this question, and the Guru's should/would/will back me up on this:

O'Reilly - JavaScript: The Definitive Guide

Crockford claims that there are many, many terrible books on JS out there, and that this is the least bad of them all. Which, I guess in his universe, is a form of praise. Anyway, if it's OK by his standards, it should be on your short-list.
