hey guys, I just ordered a canon 580ex II flash a few minutes ago cause the BH coupons are back, anyway I want to know if there are any books that you guys would recommend me to learn more about flash photography. I've been watching the videos in the "Studio lighting online videos" thread as well. Thanks in advance.

Maybe CurtisN will write one for you!

I haven't read any books about flash, but there are plenty of books on exposure that cover flash photography. The 580 II is a great speedlite, hope you have fun with it.
