Yes - Shaw's "Closeups in Nature" is definitely worth the read, so too is the Kodak workshop series book on close up. photography. The Kodak book has more of the formulae than Shaw's, but you almost need both of them to get a complete picture.
Shaw has changed his mind on some points in later books - he now advocates using a 200mm macro vs the 100mm he recommended in the earlier book, TTL flash vs manual flash, and zooms for general work vs primes. But the essence remains the same and is very valuable.
