Hey,
Thanks tons for putting this list together. All of you that contributed you've given me (and I'm sure others) plenty of things to read and even more to learn.
You all rock!
PS, the library is your friend, unless you're loaded and can actually go and buy all these books...

Oh my gosh! lol You're welcome. Can I have your autograph? :) I DO really like it. It's been very helpful since I'm new to shooting RAW. |

I am surprised no one has mentioned Photoshop Lab Color
A great book, very in depth and heavy reading, not for the weak of heart. But for those looking for something a littlemore challenging and thorough this is the read you want.

Musts:
Every book that has a photograph in it you like.
Must Nots:
Books trying to teach.
Quite honestly, unless it is a technical reference, I don't find it helpful. I'd rather suggest taking some courses on photography. Even cheap online courses are valuable. They may not be respected by the community, but they WILL teach you the technical aspects, and some design aspects. Once you know the technical details of photography, you can pretty much decipher how most photos are taken. Hence, my opinion on having lots of "picture books" rather than "text books".
Though, I DO have quite a few "text" books myself. I only buy them for the pictures within, however. I used to buy them hoping they would help me, but soon found that all books were mostly the same thing.
And I would not reccomend the "for dummies" books for anything.
More valuable than a book, I'd say, is a community of photographers on the internet to learn from. ;-) (Just be sure to learn the basics though, not everyone will want to explain what aperture is, etc.)
