My Tokina 100mm f/2.5 ProD has been shipped, should be here on Monday :D Who can recomend some books on Macro Photography? I have been into photography longer than I care to admit, but macro is new to me, been reading the thread and have looked at posted photos. Now I have the bug, no pun intended. Live up in the mountains outside Asheville NC and would love to know if any of you could recomend some good books on the subject.....Thanks.

ralff,
I haven't found too many books on macro photography (yet). However this one The Complete Guide To Close_Up & Macro Photography by Paul Harcourt Davies was a pretty descent one. It had some excellent photos and some good tips ;)
