Looking for a new book: Got any recommendations?

[TomTomTuning]

Its been a few months since i picked up a good book. Thought it would be time for a new one.

I have books such as..

- The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby
- Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson
- The Moment It Clicks by Joe McNally
- Photographing People by Roger Hicks and Frances Schultz
- The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby
- Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 by Scott Kelby

Ive been considering..

- Posing Techniques for Photographing Model Portfolios by Billy Pegram
- Posing for Portrait Photography: A Head-to-Toe Guide by Jeff Smith
- Skin: The Complete Guide to Digitally Lighting, Photographing, and Retouching Faces and Bodies by Lee Varis
- Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques for Location Photography by Kirk Tuck
- Lighting for Portrait Photography by Steve Bavister
- Digital Wedding Photography: Capturing Beautiful Memories by Glen Johnson

Anyone have anything to say about the above books, or have any other recommendations?
I shoot... mostly people/couples, glam and some times Cars.

I'm more interested in the non camera tech books. Posing/working with the subject, lighting techniques, Composition/creativeness.

How to See Creatively - Bryan Peterson. It's the compositional eqivalent of Understanding Exposure.

Cool, I'm going to look into that one.

Understanding Exposure was my first photo book i got like 4-5 years ago before i even thought about getting more serious about photography. I had a P&S sony then. But it helped SOOOO Much.. haha I read it again once i got my DSLR earlier this year.

I'm currently reading "The Photographers Eye". I've been pretty happy with it.http://http://www.amazon.com/Photographers-Eye-Composition-Design-Digital/dp/0240809343/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222205833&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Photographers-Eye-Composition-Design-Digital/dp/0240809343/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222205833&sr=8-1)

From the 3 reviews on Amazon, seems like a knock out book. Might have to consider this one as well.

I'm looking forward to Joe McNally's next book which is out in January: Hot Shoe Diaries

[phsv]

sorry, my bad. I meant to say Joe McNally and NOT Scott Kelby. I pre-ordered his book "Hot Shoe Diaries" last week. Looking forward to it too. Theree is also a new Annie Leibovitz called "At Work" That is going to be released next month; pre-ordered it too.
