I'd say a comma as you aren't defining Great Book, you're really extending it with a clause.
So it would be: Great book, if a little biased against corporations and PC. On the other hand, a slight rewording would also allow you to use a semicolon, like so: Great book; a little biased against corporations and PC, perhaps. In the case of the semicolon, it works because they are each independent clauses but about a related topic.
