Anyone have any recommendations? I found this on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0988263408/

there's probably a million how-to photography books out there and i don't think i've seen that one before. but i would say that anything that gets you out and shooting and practicing new techniques would be a good investment and that one seems to fit the bill. also, like i mentioned to turned2black you should buy a 3rd party guide specifically for your camera model when you do end up making the purchase. it's an invaluable resource for the day when you're stumped about how to do a certain technique. the user manual tends to be a little dry and technical.
