A MUST BUY if you own a SLR!:
I bought this book because I figured having some direction regarding filters would be a good investment. This book is great.

Good one:
I am not a prfessional photographer, I just do it for fun and I try to improve everytime I develop my films. I recommend this book. It has clear examples showing the different benefits of many types of filters. I would even recommend it if you are not into spending money in different filters. It will show you how far you can take your photography.
