Pictorial Composition5
I've purchased numerous books dealing with composition. This is By FAR the most informative. Even without color plates (which I feel would only have distracted from the lesson being taught) the book is invaluable.

It has answered many, many questions that I had in clear, understandable language and example.

A gem of a find.
