Please could fellow PB friends recommend some good Reformed books on the subject of Prayer. I would like to read a good book on this topic.
Thank You.

The section on prayer in Calvin's Institutes is one of the best I've read.

A Method for Prayer by Matthew Henry. Easily available on-line.

The Lord's Prayer should not be neglected. I think the Westminster Larger Catechism is very good on it, as well as the book the Lord's Prayer by A.W. Pink.

 

[C. Matthew McMahon]

Best book on prayer outside Scripture is Nathaniel Vincent's, "Spirit of Prayer". It was heralded by the puritans in their day as "the" work on the subject.

Gleanings From Scripture by A. W. Pink is the best...simply the best.

I've been reading Prayer and the Knowledge of God by Graeme Goldsworthy, because it was lying around Ruben's study. It's very good.
I also love Paul Miller's A Praying Life, though that is a more popular memoir approach.

Two Puritan classics (Banner of Truth): Prayer by John Bunyan and
The Secret Key to Heaven by Thomas Brooks.

The Bible and the Closet by Thomas Watson and Samuel Lee.
