Hi hyori, I would recommend 2 books:

1. The Digital Photography Book, Volume 1 Author: Scott Kelby
http://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?fullRecord+18369+3002+12869434+1+0

2. The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2 Author: Scott Kelby
http://catalogue.nlb.gov.sg/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?fullRecord+32369+3002+13039834+1+1

I think they are easy to read and understand. I managed to hunt them down in our libraries, and you might find it difficult to get hold of them. (As you can see from the links i added after each book, most are on loan). You can refer to my blog for the book details @ http://ironiccorrupt.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/books/

If you wish to buy them you can check them out @ http://reddotphoto.com.sg/ecommerce/cat_viewproducts.php?catid=7

Also, do refer with Zoossh's post @ http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=245883 for more books and information about DSLR as well.

PS. The Volume 3 is already out, http://www.peachpit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321617657 but our libraries haven't got them yet.

get sulhan's book.

even from reading those guides posted can already tell it's easy to read,

and esp useful to those new to photography.

besides, the book is priced very reasonably.
