Good Books on Posing

[ChadAndreo]

I would like to start a collection of books that I could read and have models look through to get some basic ideas of things to do. I would like to see recommendations on books that you have come across that you would recommend to others.
As of now I have heard of the following:
"Posing Techniques" by Billy Pegram
"Portait Photography Handbook" by Monte Zucker
"Glamour Garage" by Rolando Gomez
"500 Poses for Photographing Women: A Visual Sourcebook for Portrait Photographers" by Michelle Perkins

Now I have no experience with these books, but I have seen them recommended a lot.

I just look at magazines to see what poses I like or look good to others.

I don't think there is a science to posing... I also don't think its hard to imagine what the human body is capable of in terms of where they can move their limbs and how they can position themselves... By reading this books you are limiting yourself in my opinion. If something looks good and natural, go with it.

Just my 2 cents though, I am sure those books are still worth it for the models to get a little more comfortable if nothing else.

[ChadAndreo]

Thats actually the main reason why I want to get a collection of books. I think it looks more professional and would make the model feel more comfortable.

+1 for Monte Zucker.

get some basic ideas of things to do. I'd be more inclined to ask them what shots they've seen that they like & have them bring some in. Or they could pick from these:
