books for the basics

[EJRPhotos]

What books would you recommend for a person to get back to the basics of lighting and digital photography? It would be a good reference thread and I am in the market after realizing that I need to really get back to the basics of photography to better myself.

I'm kind of surprised this has never been a sticky on the beginners section of the forum. I see this question fairly often.

Sticky threads often never get looked at, many never learn how or bother to use the forum search feature, or learn how to use an Internet search engine.

Just 6 days a go - http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/photography-beginners-forum/306827-books.html

Yeah this is actually one that I was thinking of. You have an ever expanding list of books that you reference as these threads get made over and over again. Similar to the "which camera should I buy for a gift", "Raw vs. Jpg", "PC vs. MAC", etc.

I guess I just thought it would be easier for you to quickly reference by copying and pasting a link for a sticky.
