The best set of instructional books on photography I found are the
Freeman Patterson series of books:

I haven't seen any other photography book that teaches you visual
design and focus on such basics as shapes and lines.. 

They are easily available in Canadian book stores and amazon.ca (But
amazon.com is often out-of-stock)..
