New 50D User looking for book suggestions

I just upgraded from the XT to the 50D. I'm a serious amateur photographer that would like to take my photography to the next level. What books would you recommend?

that depends on what you shoot.

Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure" and "Learning to See Creatively" are both excellent books for beginners and advanced amatuers

If, like me, you shoot birds then arthur morris' guide (forget the exact name but its on his website) is superb.

I agree they are very good choices. I also reocommend Michael Freeman's "Perfect Exposure" and "The Photographer's Eye"

The books are The Art of Bird Photography or Digital Basics (PDF)

I've got a 17-55 on my 50D and I use it primarily for photographing my three kids and landscape photography.
