Thanks Tom. I see that he also does a D80 book and note from the contents that he explains all the bits that the manual doesn't (or, at least, doesn't explain in English!).

I also just checked: I have John Hedgecoe's book from 1980 on my bookshelf. A super reference book - I really should read it again and stop making the same dumb mistakes. I can second your recommendation of his books as an excellent grounding in all things photographic.
