[Simon]

Great book but complicated sometimes. But introduces one to important concepts like optical brighteners. Well worth the price (especially if you are going to put down over $1000 on printing equipment and supplies).

[Keith Taylor]

Heavily technical, but some useful information for the neophyte

Excellent resource with lots of information, but, like all technology-related books, much of the information will be out of date soon.

Read the newer 3rd edition as an $11 e-book. May be too technical for many people, but has some great tips and workflow best practices for printing.
