Need a "how to shoot weddings 101" book

Hi all,
I'm an advanced amateur photographer and I reluctantly accepted a wedding
gig for the summer. I've looked around at a few books for initial help but
none really stood out. I would like some examples with references as to
their content and how they helped.

Thanks
Pete

there are a few books, check amazon. I used to post a lot of articles for
newbie wedding photogs here, search back a ways, this NG has died the last
couple years, but it used to be active. I've posted about doing an
engagement portrait so your client and you are on the same page style and
skill level, so they understand what your needs are, what their end of the
creative process is. basically sets up a working relationship before the
event, think of it as a rehearsal, I mean they have one to figure out how to
walk down the dang aisle, they oughta have one cause most people don't have
photographers while they are busy with family.

then lots of posts on basic posing, professional lighting, album assembly.

I can't give you any specific book titles but there are a bunch of Amherst
books several of which cover wedding photography. You should be able to find
them at amazon.com.
