I have bought and read almost every cinematography book out there, I found Practical Cinematography to be very informative. I like the updates that were added for the 2nd edition, as Paul Wheeler (the author) explains some opinions have changed over the course of time.

The most pleasing chapter I read was about the film lab, it explains visually the grain structure and the layers on the film side for the base and emulsion. (Recommended).
