When I buy any new camera bodies I always buy books by David Busch. His books are very extensive and give better information than just the manual. I'am very happy to hear that you purchased the Nikon D750 for your Daughter. I have the D5, a D750, a D850, a D500, and a Z7. As you can tell, I do possess a lot of Nikon gear as I always take 3 Cameras when I happen to be out in the field. The nice thing about Nikon or Canon and even other manufacturers is once you learn the Menu system on one you basically have a head start with all. You did a very special thing for your daughter and I commend you for that. May she have many years of photography in her and I trust that she really appreciates the fact that she has a Wonderful Father. Also, tell her to watch Youtube tutorials also which will give her the opportunity to sit and make adjustments on her camera while doing so. One more thing, I do happen to have a very long affiliation with Nikon so if you ever get into a jam just reach out.

I know this is not a book, but Creative Live has a "Fast Start" class for your camera and it is currently on sale for $11.00, which is less than a lot of books I own. John Greengo does an excellent job of explaining the camera while demonstrating on the camera. I have his classes for my Nikon and Fuji cameras and use them often if I just can't remember how to do something. If she is a visual learner, this is not a bad way to go. He also provides printable handouts for the class.

Them Hogan is an excellent resource for Nikon camera manuals.
www.bythom.com I believe is his web site
I have several of Thom Hogan's books. Also the one for the D750. (I own a D750.great camera). I find his books and information and explanations to be excellent. Many other books, just re-explain the nikon manual. He gives you lots of additional information, and most importantly tells you where Nikon has problems. He doesn't just promote Nikon when there are issues, but explains them an suggests options. (The D750 is a good camera, but of course no camera is perfect).
Steve Perry also has some good information and great explanations, but on a smaller subset of things. I highly recommend getting both of their books. You will not be disappointed

Thanks, Joexx.
I have Perry’s digital book on the Nikon Autofocus System. Which of his books are you suggesting?
Matt
I also have "Secrets To Exposure And Metering For Nikon Copyright 2019 Steve Perry". If you have one of his books, then you know they are very informative, as are his short Youtube videos. Thom Hogan's book is over 900 pages long and covers some of the same items, but covers most every function of the D750 and has far more information on many other topics, so it is in no way a duplicate of what Perry covers. Where topics overlap, both (Thom & Steve) explanations are useful , a little different and well done.
