"Proofs and Refutations" is a fantastic book, I really enjoy that style.
If someone is looking for a more lightweight introduction to Lakatos I can highly recommend "For and Against Method" which outlines his "arguments" with Feyerabend.
If you're not into science theory (imo) Lakatos is basically Popper++ (I think most people have heard of Popper)
