My eldest will be 28 this year, but I started reading long before she was
born :-)
I read several: 'Your baby and child' by Penelope Leach, and The Complete
book of pregnancy and childbirth, with beautiful color photos, by Sheila
Kitzinger.  But the book I enjoyed the most of all, recommended by my best
friend the student midwife, was Kitzinger's 'The Experience of
Breastfeeding', which had no illustrations whatsoever.  
I also had read 'Nutrition in Pregnancy and Lactation' by Worthington,
Vermeersch and Williams, and Nutrition in Infancy and Childhood' by Pipes,
both required reading in the nutrition course I had taken.
I didn't read 'The Womanly Art...', and in fact I still have not read it!
Yet somehow I managed to breastfeed both my children and never be sore for
one second, and I dare say they would assert that they were passably
mothered too.
