Upgrading to Canon 30D - books?

[missy_m]

Hi all

I have just upgraded to a Canon 30D from film, via a shortlived and unhappy fling with a Nikon D70.
This time, I want to make sure I get the best out of my 30D like I did with my A-1. It used to be like an extension of me but I find it much harder to get a Digital SLR to do my bidding!
Does anyone know of any good books, preferably specific to the 30D, that will give me both a good understanding of the camera controls and a refresher on film photography techniques and how they apply to digital?

Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Adele

Andy Rouse has a good book on digital photography, which helps those from film. He is a canon user, but the book isn't camera specific. I found it a good source of info in my transition from film.

Thanks, that's all great (I have the manual, I want something bit friendlier).
