This book has been on my to-read list for quite some time now and now I realize why my photography instructors recommended it. Black and White Photography: A Basic Manual is a very rich, well-organized photography manual. Horenstein gives just enough instruction and detail without being overwhelming or leaving the reader feeling as though lighting or processing one's own film is too complicated.
This book is geared toward photographers who shoot film, though folks who shoot digital can learn a great deal from this book, too. And who knows? It may inspire some people to put down their DSLR and pick up a used Pentax K-1000 or Mamiya RZ67!(less)

I've been dragging my copy of this book around with me for nearly 20 years now. It's a great reference when I want to get back to basics and a source of inspiration when my creative well runs dry.
If you can find a copy of this some where, snap it up, pronto!(less)

Joe McNally makes great photography accessible to aspiring professional photographers (or serious amateurs).
Every page is filled with great anecdotes of a successful career, as well as a paragraph or two of "how I did it" to accompany the photographs. For all of the times I've looked at a great image and figured it was far too complicated for me to imitate (armed with just my camera and, when I'm lucky, an external flash unit), McNally shows that it can be done AND that it can be done without necessarily emptying the bank account.
McNally's kind of folksy, casual writing may be somewhat off-putting to grammar pedants out there, but he comes at this as if he's sitting across the table from you, sharing his favorite "war stories" and giving his best advice.(less)
