Macro Macro book suggestions

I'd like to get a couple of books on macro. I don't want something that is deeply "scientific"; rather one that simply explains how best to use equipment.

Thanks again everyone!

I like this one (Tracy Hallett) and it covers "close-up" as well as true macro photography:

Before you buy any books, and if you are looking for more general background information, this site can be really helpful (both for macro and photography in general)
