Mike, I've been having a lot of fun lately with Horentstein's "Black and White Photography". It's just technical enough without being overbearing.

As far as dropping the automatic functions on the *ist, it's easy enough to switch it to manual and set the aperture and shutter with the wheel. For some real fun, take the lens off 'A', set function 17 to '2', and try shooting with no meter at all.
