Not as "Basic" as I'd hoped but a good book for interested photographers

I've been interested in View Cameras for a couple of years now, and had debated buying Stroebel's "View Camera Technique" when I saw this title listed. It is a nice book but isn't written for the total novice, it seems to me that you are assumed to know something about photography before you get started. You'll get several chapters on what lenses for these things do (and some examples), details on film and filters and various camera functions but it is a little too technical for the total novice. I was hoping for a book that would show me the various common camera parts in detail, telling what each was and what it did. I'd like more detail on choosing components too. The best chapter, for a near total novice like me, was #7- it had more of the details like I want/need. This book is not a hold your hand guide for the uninformed, it is well written but assumes you do know something about the subject. At the time I got this book it was about $80, $20 more than Stroebel's "View Camera Technique"- which one is best for the novice? I don't know but may get Technique someday as well. I wish I could find something that was really basic!

stroebel is one of the best in this medium...

this book is the authority for large format enthusists, and it is very easy to understand for the ones just now getting into view cameras!
