I agree with those too. I can also recommend "The complete Guide to Close-Up & Macro Photography" by Paul Harcourt Davies.
My number one advice would be to decide "What is Macro Work?" Do you want to fill the frame with a butterfly? A house fly? a mosquito? Once you decide how you want to approach close-ups and what you want to photograph, building technique becomes a lot easier and leads to experience which will give you the desire to try new ideas and different subjects.

If you're into insect I'll also recommend Robert Thompsons "Close-up on insects". Excellent images. Thompson mostly shoot macro insects with medium format but he also have a few shots made with the Pentax LX. > > > P�l > >
