Digital Photography Masterclass

Which of these books about digital photography would you suggest?

I narrowed it down to these 3. Thanks Buds.

I own 1 and 2, they’re both great reads. I can’t imagine the 3rd is a bad book, but this is my take on it. Exposures dips its fingers into various aspects of photography, so if you’re just starting off, learning about exposure is pretty much learning about everything else.
