Torn...

Torn, as in whether to rate this book as a useful instructional guide, or boring casual reading. Torn, as in the author's feelings on whether to write about the sentiment and philosophy behind photography. Sections get weighed down by the author's need to discuss (in overly maudlin terms) the creative expression offered by photography. I would have preferred a book to be either wholly technical or entirely emotional (and clearly presented as such, so that I could avoid it). Torn, as in the pages falling from this poorly bound book. Several friends have informed me that their copies fell apart, too. All in all, I found the procedural information to be clear and concise, covering not just basics, but some more interesting darkroom techniques. It seemed that the rest was serving as filler; personally I would prefer more picture examples and less of the non-procedural text. However, this book is a good alternative to some of the better, but unfortunately out of print, darkroom guides.

Great! A must read for serious photographers.

This is a very good book that covers many of the less well known photographic processes and materials. It is well written and provides clear instructions about using the various processes.
