    The Shotkit Book is a pretty good one that’s just been released http://shotkitbook.com wouldn’t say it’s one of the best but if you like gear it’s very interesting to see what pros use.

  2. Owen Tuckett says:

    These may be the most popular but they are by no means the best or the best value. Tony Northrup’s Stunning Digital Photography is excellent and books by Bryan Peterson and Michael Freeman offer much better value than these.
