A friend of mine has fallen off his bicycle and cracked his pelvis in a couple of places. For his recovery he has been told to "sit still and take the pain killers" for 6-8 weeks.
I am thinking of getting him a book to read to help him pass the time. He is a keen aficionado of the technicalities of photography. He uses a Olympus 4/3rds camera. The book he is currently reading is The Digital Negative by Jeff Schewe. Can anyone make a suggestion for books of a similar technical depth - not necessarily on that topic - that would help?

PS. I'm UK based, if that makes a difference....

Thanks in advance.

Ansel Adams, "Examples"; it's an amazingly interesting book, delving into the mindset of a photographer as he works. 40 images are discussed. A very readable photo book.

That book sounds great Robert. Will the fact it was pre-digital make it difficult to read for those with no experience of this pre-digital photography world?

Thank you for the suggestions. I have gone the easy route and bought the companion book for one he already has.
