I see that Intelligent Investor by Graham has already been posted but that's certainly a good one. However it can be a bit dry for most readers and if you would prefer something a bit fresher I would read Deep Value by Toby Carlisle. He discusses and critiques Graham's teachings along with the strategies of other notable value investors such as Buffet, Icahn, Greenblatt and many others all in a more modern tone. It's been the bible for my own value investing strategies.
Other books to look into are:
One of the best new books on the subject is Deep Value http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Value-Investors-Contrarians-Corporations/dp/1118747968/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412616436&sr=8-1&keywords=Deep+value it's an updated take on Graham's approach to value investing and quantitatively evaluates different variations based upon their back-tested results over long periods of time. Expensive book but worth every penny IMHO.

I have not personally done any research, but a lot has been done. A quick google search showed the following:
Additionally, there is this book, in which Tobias Carlisle (of Greenbackd fame) provides a great overview of activist investing: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Value-Investors-Contrarians-Corporations/dp/1118747968
Seems like an interesting book. From the Amazon listing , it looks like it goes deeper than "buy quality companies at discount prices". I have a few books I'm working through, but this is on my shortlist for my next one.
