Smile Book: Advanced Photography or Basic Photography

Hi there!

Im going to develop my knowledge. Going to order some books. I dont realy know wich boks to buy. But You maybe can help me in my choise.

Thinking of these books:
Advanced Photography
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...208026-5727656

Basic Photography
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...208026-5727656

Both written by: Michael Langford.

The advanced books seems to have better content, but I dont realy feelI have the basics. Maybe I have? Have heard that the basic book is used by some photography school. And Im realy not good as a photography student that have been study the subject in years.

Have also been looking at these books:

The Perfect Exposure by Jim Zuckerman
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

But I have already read a book about exposure. This one:
Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera by Bryan Peterson - http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...208026-5727656 A good book with alot of tips. But is the book with Zuckerman more advanced?

So guys, wich book(s) does fit me best? I realy want to educate myself in phorography and taking better pictures. I know that the best training is to be out and taking pictures. But I want books to read how I going to get those pics that will be n the frontmagazine of national geographic.

Help me out please...

// Johan

Why not get all of them since none of them seem to really overlap each other?

Buy them used. its almost half the price... and well, its a book, not a lens or anything. As long as its not ripped up or wet or anything, it should be ok.
