Loved this book! It's definitely for beginners, but it has many useful tips and great pictures that serve as inspiration. (Tip: get the physical copy, not the Kindle edition.)

Just purchased my first “big” camera - a mirrorless. Had minimal photography knowledge prior to buying said camera, so this book certainly helped!
