Books on Ukiyo-e

I have recently purchased several ukiyo-e prints
and, apart from what I have been able to glean
from various web pages, I find that I am in total
ignorance of the background and meaning behind these beautiful
pictures. I wonder if any of you regular contributors
to these pages have any recomendations as to books
(preferably still in print) that I should try to read
as a starting point to increasing my knowledge on this
subject.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
