My advice: The time-lfe book series is good. Lotsa pix too, good for
visual people. Cheap used.
Or Basic Photography by Michael Langford (
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0240514858/qid=960863180/sr=1-
14/103-3729171-5505400 ) or anything else by him. Simple, clear,
explained.
Or Ansel Adams, especially the early editions, pre 1960.
Inspiring!
