Hello Bro,
Welcome!!!
I remember one book highly recommended by Cecil
"Understand Exposure" by Bryan Peterson.
Too bad Cecil is in Hanoi now, so I can't check with him to confirm.

Hey fren.. Welcome to photography.. I'm new too... The book that USM gave ya was the one that cecil recommended during a workshop held recently... It's actually available in the Spore library, so if u do not intend to buy, U can at least borrow and flip thru.. I've yet to get a copy for myself... But will try to grab one..
Cheers... ;D

what are the prices of the books that u guys mentioned ? I got mine at $49.95 at borders. Look through the shelf ... If I'm not wrong... there is a hard and soft cover. The hard cover one is more costly... but... I don't think there is a diff in contents. Cheers

Heaps of pics to share for all your comments... Mi... I am using a Safrotto Bag...I think its 1 down from the largest in its range... Good for body, and 4 lens (Verticle about 70 to 300mm length) Only cost about $80. No regrets. I'm thinking of getting a backpack style for when I travel. So can place laptop inside. Eyeing one already... hope not costly. Cheers
