Dale Dubins "Rapid Interpretation of EKGs"
Got mine, in new condition, off ebay for $18.

I believe that book is geared towards basic EKG rhythm recognition. I'm looking for something that deals more in depth with 12 leads.

Not a book, but great 12-lead info
Look for a seminar by Tim Phalen. He does some of the best 12-lead training I have ever seen. It's from an EMS/ER perspective and all very clearly explained. He goes past the Name-That-Rhythm method and delves deeply into "so what does this mean for your patient". He has some almost absurdly simple ways to recall various aspects of 12-lead interpretation. I have been to his basic 12-lead course and a more advanced 2-day course. I've not been disappointed and will go again whenever he is in the area.

Don't let Dubins fool you. It is actually written at a high level of in-depthness more than most. Here are my favorites:
Bob Page's 12-Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers. Catch his lecture. Tim's good but Bob is great!
http://www.amazon.com/12-Lead-Acute...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245812459&sr=1-1
and when you just think you knew it....
Mike Taigman's Advanced Cardiology in Plain English (written by a Paramedic for Paramedics)

Dubins Book and Lecture
I'll have to check out Dubins book and see if he has a lecture coming up in the upper Midwest.
I'll second Taigman's Advanced Cardiology, I read it first as a student and didn't get some of it, but I went back after a few years and really enjoyed re-reading it.
Phalen co-authored a book with Barb Aehlert The 12-lead EKG in Acute Coronary Syndromes that is also worth a look. You can get it from Mosby / Elsevier.

Thanks for all the input guys. I just bought Bob Page's 12-Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers. Looks like it will have all the info I'm looking for.
