@roverace220 when pasting Amazon links, all you need is /dp/ and the product code after it, everything else is meta data or referral info, so your book is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0935578331/
I would recommend the following three things
1:
Cinematographer Style- The Complete Interviews, Vol. I and II by Jon Fauer ASC
(Amazon link)
https://www.amazon.com/Cinematographer-Style-Complete-Interviews-I/dp/0935578331/
it's 110 total interviews so you get a large breath of ideas and voices it focuses a lot more on the "artistic" side of things
2:
For more "gear" and technical things I love the ASC manual. (The 10th edition is the latest version)
3: the hard thing with printed books on "gear" because it's changing so fast and often.( still great options out there) So while not a book I would recommend the ASC magazine for up to date technical information. (The magazine is mainly interviews with DPs about the latest movies coming out)
All of these things come from the ASC and for me I think are very good since they showcase a wide range of views and opinions. Also ASC is big on promoting their craft and getting new talent so the books are meant to be encouraging which is a plus.
There are tons of options available but these are my favorites.
Edit: fixed the link to be shorter. (Thanks u/TravisO !)
The documentary is great, but the books go a lot further in-depth. Worth a read.
