I know not everyone is a fan of Andre Kertesz, but his book "Diary of 
Light" if you can get one (only 3,000 printed in quad-tone) is a great 
book by a true pioneer of small camera work.

Heri-Cartier-Bresson Photographer (a.k.a. The Decisive Moment) is a 
great book. I picked one up on eBay for $75. :-)

"There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply 
without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry 
of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law cannot be a 
tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a mortification against the 
martyrs it has created. You cannot threaten any individual and escape 
the consequences."
