Feynman diagrams by Edward Tufte

What is the best book(s) to read if you want to understand a bit about QED?

(I understand a bit about quantum physics; the book that helped me the most was Quantum Reality by Nick Herbert)

edited to add: I want to emphasize that I understand a tiny tiny bit of qp. I posted this comment hoping that there exists some analogue of Herbert's book for QED; a book which guides the motivated but non-physicist reader through the basics of the theory.

Dr. Agrawal has some good pdf's available from his website: http://stanford.edu/~mukul/tutorials/index.html

Here is a link to a 161 page pdf on QFT and QED (Warning: direct pdf download):

stanford.edu/~mukul/tutorials/Quantum_Optics.pdf

I have found his explanations of quantum physics to be very clear. [Edit: url correction]

Isbn 0-14-012505-1 QED The strange theory of ligt and matter by Richard P. Feynman

It's his lectures and he was a good teacher.

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I'd appreciate an explanation of why it's nonsensical. (I don't doubt you, I'm honestly curious)
