In fact, for it's price, size and weight, The Landscape Photography Field Guide is probably the best book in it's class.

"The information contained in this guide is applicable to use with almost any manual camera, and the author's easy-to-follow tips make landscape photography accessible to even the novice shutterbug. Its handy size is conducive to carrying in the field for on-the-spot reference, and would no doubt be indispensable to amateurs.

Otherwise, there is an impressive range of advice, from the technical to the creative aspects of outdoor photography during any season. Versatile yet informative, The Landscape Photography Field Guide emphasizes simplicity and functionality as a means to enhancing individual creativity in the photographic medium."--San Francisco Book Review
