Good Books on the Philosophy of Science?

I'm looking for something engaging and with a good discussion of Popper's contributions. Any suggestions?

Go straight for the source. I recommend Conjectures and Refutations. Unlike many other notable philosophers of this century, Popper can be read and understood by an interested layman.
