If you are looking for a good photography book that is easy to understand especially for the beginners I suggest find the book entitled,"Digital Photography All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies" It is very reader-friendly.You acn also get some tips from different fields of photography that you might need when you start venturing into different subjects as well. I say though that experience is really the best teacher that is why i suggest that you really click your heart away and see how the pictures work out for you. good luck!
