Digital BW, The Print

I was just in Books a million this evening and noticed they had a book called "Digital black 
and white photography".  I browsed through it and it seems like something worth 
purchasing.  I too have been waiting for someone to come out with a book addressing 
digital black and white photography being that is the majority of my work.  The book has 
some techniques I was familiar with as well as some that I was not.  It sells for about 25 
bucks but I saw it on amazon.com for about 17 bucks.  Amazon also has another book 
geared toward black and white digital photography called darkroom to digital.  If you buy 
the two together, you get a price break $36.89.  I will probably order them next week 
sometime.  

Heres the link to the book on amazon.   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/
