Stanford's ecorner has a lot of lectures with videos and podcasts on all sorts of subjects including negotiation/ing:

Joel Peterson is pretty good:

But yeah, ultimately there's a lot of feel and craft to negotiations, and different styles work for different people. Plus situations can differ, such as real estate or cars or business deals or partnerships etc. The best way to get a car cheap from a dealership (hardline to the point non-emotional results oriented negotiation) is going to differ a lot from how best to negotiate with your GF to get kinky sex or to negotiate who does what with a business partner on a new venture.
Edit: How to Win Friends and Influence People is an extremely good read, once you get past the cheese factor of the author changing his name to coattail steel magnate Andrew Carnegie's success in industry.
