I'm surprised no one mentioned the bounty hunter trilogy with Boba Fett as the main guy. It's about how he got where he wanted to be, the inner workings of a rather complicated bounty system, and his survival from the Sarlacc pit. It features lots of other famous bounty hunters from the trilogy in a way that actually works with the story.

But for the life of me, i left them at home when I moved for college and I can't remember the name of any of the books.

I also recommend the Rogue Squadron series.
