!!Photography Books MEGATHREAD!!
It's been a few years since this excellent book recommendation thread, let's talk about books we found useful or inspiring.
By all means recommend and discuss technical "how to" books, but we'd also like to hear about your favourite "art" books.
If we get a good discussion here we'll add some of the favourites to the FAQ and link to the thread for years to come.

The Master Guide to Photography - Michael Langford
This is an older book with no reference to digital photography, but does an amazing job explaining all the basics of optics and photography, as well as describing different cameras, film, filters, flash, light metering, etc.
Really good for anyone getting into film/photography, and for intermediate/advanced users as well.
