The Incredible Eye
In my search for a photographer's website to learn about "how to see" I never saw a photographer with an eye such as Charles Cramer. This man own something beyond description in copmosing a photograph. For those who want to learn how to make a successful image should look no further than Charles' images...

http://www.charlescramer.com

I wonder if he has a book related to Photography.

I'm familiar with the website Mohsen, and I agree that he's outstanding. I don't know of any books solely of his, but I happened to buy The World's Top Photographers : Landscape" and he's included in there. The book is terrific, not necessarily because of the page quality or reproduction, but because of the photographers involved and the fact that each image has a few paragraphs about it. I tend to like photo books in that vein somewhat more than 200 pages of full bleed images with no writing.

Mohsen,

Charlie Cramer has been a favorite of mine for many years and his imagery has always been an inspiration for me. I don't know if you had a chance to read the article I wrote that was posted here last month, but you might find it interesting:

I don't know if he has any books out though.

In one my recent airport stops (must been either Athens, Singapore or Perth, but the magazine was a UK one, I believe...) I stumbled upon a photo magazine which featured Charlie Cramers work and an extensive interview. I think it was Outdoor Photography, but am not sure and it was either the March or April issue - so it should be possible to buy it.
In Yosemite NP you can see prints of his, as far as I can remember. (AA gallery..?) - but that's not of much help for you, i guess.
usually you shold get inof about his featured work on his own website.
