Wedding Photograhy Poses?

What is the best book you know of on the subject of posing people for wedding photography? I want to buy it as a gift for a photog graduate. Title and author appreciated if possible. Thanks!
I have checked Amazon and cant decide - need first hand info. Thanks

This is the book I picked up when I was asked to photograph the wedding of friends of a friend: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Wedding-Photography-Professional-Techniques/dp/0817433252/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199903477&sr=1-5

I did find it helpful, and the bride and groom were delighted with their pictures.

The only caveat is that I bought this book some time ago (5-6 years), and there may be other good or great ones that have been published since then.

As a previous person said, check Amazon!

EDIT: That's the beauty of Amazon - you can read other peoples' first-hand accounts of their experiences with a book. When I read through reviews, I look for critical/ negative reviews that are well-written (logical, relevant, on-topic), and give high credence to those. Next in line are well-written positive reviews.

If you can't make up your mind between two or three books and can afford all of them, buy 'em all! I'm sure the new grad will appreciate them.

Incidentally, there's not going to be one absolute "best" book. That's a very subjective thing, no? What is best? A book that has a bunch of new ideas - or something that shows more classic poses? A book that tells you how to do everything step-by-step - or shows you how to figure things out for yourself (think critically)?
