There are so many to choose from!  in addition to those already mentioned:

'The Experience of Breastfeeding' by Sheila Kitzinger is one of my
favorites.  No illustrations and no problem solving, this is about the
EXPERIENCE of breastfeeding.

And then, 'The New Bestfeeding: Getting Breastfeeding Right for You' by Mary
Renfrew and Chloe Fisher with photos by Suzanne Arms.  Great book.  Mary
Renfrew was a respected breastfeeding researcher in 1982 and she worked with
Chloe Fisher on the first edition of 'Bestfeeding'.  She did not experience
being a breastfeeding mother herself until 1991, after the publication of
the book.  To me, that makes the first edition even more impressive, because
the empathy with which it is written is something not always shown by the
BTDTs.

FWIW, I successfully breastfed my first child after having read Kitzinger's
'The Experience of BF' AND 'The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth',
and done the course work for Bonnie Worthington-Roberts' Maternal and Child
Nutrition.  I belonged to a circle of friends where BF was normal, and the
place I had my baby did not separate us from birth (I'd like to have seen
them TRY), and encouraged feeding on cue without restricting frequency or
duration of feeds.  My first problem occurred a year later when I got
mastitis after being scratched by my toddler's unwashed fingernails.
 Point? --just that it wasn't the books that made the difference, even
though I love to read about BF now.

liking BF books even better since they are the closest I get now.
