Digital BW, The Print

Lots of folks recommended Mastering Digital Black and White by Amadou Diallo from 2007, but it is a bit dated now if you are not a novice. Personally, I learned a few things when I read it in 2010, but I really don't use Photoshop anymore. I use Aperture and Nik plugins, especially Silver Efex Pro 2. I would recommend to skip the book and purchase Nik's software. It is truly amazing.
