Honestly speaking I rarely buy photography books that talk about “How To” or some kind of technical things, what I look in a books is something that can inspire me, something that will show me the right way of doing things in life, through their experience. About the technical things you can always read the Manual, and speaking about photography, very few peoples read their camera manual books.
