I like David Blow's book for beginners -- one can get the gist of things
without having much math:

Bernhard Rupp's book, mentioned earlier, is the current gold standard, in
my view.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Beginning crystallography text
Hi all,
I haven't gotten past the phase of growing the crystal, but I'd certainly still
like to learn the actual theories of crystallography. Can anyone recommend a
good beginner to mid-level text on macromolecular crystallography?
Thanks,
Peter
