Look for old photography books. Libraries might still have them, and carboot sales certainly should. Photography fairs have the best selection though. Some shops as well, like Mr.Cad are likely to have some stock as well. I can't tell you which ones are best, but once you've learned to meter well, to get the results you want......and not what the meter suggests, and you have learnt the rule-of-thirds, that's when you have the basics, and can develop your own competent style.
Here are some links. Look for older copies of each book if you can. 2nd hand would be a better bet IMO.
