Your photography "bibles"

Arnold Gassan's darkroom book used to get a thorough workout when I was printing and developing on a regular basis. Now I dip into Michael Freeman's Film, Exposure etc quartet (long out of print) when I have questions. But most of my 'picture books' went away years ago. Had them memorized anyway and it was more fun to go out and shoot.
 
BIBLES? No.
Influential photo books? Yes:

anything/everything by Walker Evans
Doisneau Paris (the small fat one [author: Ollier])
Diane Arbus An Aperture Monograph
Robert Frank Americans
Winogrand Figments...
