An iconic photography reference
I actually purchased this as a used book over 30 years ago when I had a film slr and a 3 mp digicam. I was chagrined to find that the previous #@$%! owner "xactoed" a couple of pages out of the book. This recent purchase was in good condition at a very reasonable price. It's still relevant for photography basics and remains a great reference book.
