Hollywood Camera Work is truly amazing.

Every second is rich with very valuable information. I might be able to sell you my copies once I finish watching them, if you'd like.

I don't think there is a word to truly describe how good they are. They're just like, beyond everything I've ever seen. I've never found anything that's come close. In fact I think I'm going to watch one of them again tomorrrow! Exciting! Everytime I watch it again I learn something new.
 
I have "Shot by Shot" and it's not bad. It seemed like it would be better than it ended up being. It is loaded with diagrams and examples. I did find a bunch of it fairly obvious, but if I hadn't already known alot of its content I probably would have felt I got more out of the book than I did.
And the appendix on converting floorplans to perspective drawings is great for complicated pre-production.

I bought it when I was out looking for "Grammar of the Film Language" by Daniel Arijon which was highly recommended.
