Good book for beginners... or anyone, really

Went to the library yesterday and picked up a few photography and photoshop books. The PS books were a bust, I got the wrong edition and it's also for a different package.

BUT I did get at least one book that I'm really liking, and wanted to recommend to anyone looking for a little inspiration. It's from the The Art of Digital Photography series by Kodak, titled Mood, Ambience & Dramatic Effects.

A quick, easy read to get you thinking about the "interpretation rather than documentation." Light is explained extensively, but in a way that's really easy to understand for someone who can't quite grasp the concepts (me! lol).

You can buy that book used for as little as $0.16, plus $3.99 shipping - KODAK The Art of Digital Photography: Mood, Ambience & Dramatic Effects

There are a lot of good books out there for beginner's.

Good price for an interesting book. I'm sure it's not the best out there (hence the price), but lots of good info and nice photos.

SIXTEEN whole cents? PLUS shipping? Absurd. I demand free shipping.

Get "Digital Photography Masterclass" by Tom Ang. It is brilliant. Contains lots of very useful stuff for shooting photos and editing them in photoshop.
