Reinfeld's (1001 winning chess sacrifices and combinations, 1001 brilliant ways to checkmate, and a few others) are the best. I don't much like combination challenge, mainly because it's just Reinfeld's works reproduced. Sharpen Your Tactics! is also good.

The "Test your chess IQ" series by August Livshitz isn't bad. The problems in the books do have the drawback of being divided up by motif, though, so if you're trying to solve a problem in, say, the Discovered Check section, you have a bit of a head start in working through the solution.

To be honest, the Reinfeld books are not my favorites. Too easy, I think, for most of the problems. They're classics, but I think there are better books with the same concept.
A much better book is Test Your Tactics by Neishtadt (the title is my translation from the Vietnamese edition I have-- but it should be close to the English version).
I second Cal's recommendation of the Keres and Vokovic books.

Cal's recommendations are more for theory of chess tactics than the actual tactics. They are quite excellent books, but they're not combination books. Another good book along the same lines is the Art of Chess Combination by Znosko-Borovsky.
