What is a good book about American photography?

I recently read a digital photography manual by American photographer Scott Kelby. Easy to understand, humorous. Suitable for unfamiliar beginners. You can consider taking a look.

The New York Institute of Photography Course is indeed a classic textbook and suitable for beginners, but the price is very high (it was 180 yuan when I bought it in college). If there is one in the library, you can borrow it.

As for magazines, I think the photography world and photography are more suitable for beginners. These two magazines introduce more technical content. If you like digital photography, you can read Digital Photography magazine.
