I might suggest that four softcover books by Canadian photographer
Freeman Patterson are worth considering:
Photography for the joy of it - 1977 - ISBN 0-442-29893-5
Photography of natural things - 1982 - ISBN 0-7706-0022-0
Photography and the art of seeing - 1985 - ISBN - 1-55013-099-4
Photographing the world around you - 1994 - ISBN - 1-55013-590-2
These are all in print and can also be found in used book stores.
Two other books worth considering are:
Color Photography, A Working Manual : Henry Horenstein, 1995 - ISBN
0-316-37316-8
The Negative : Ansel Adams, 1981 - ISBN 0-8212-2186-8
