Reviews

The authors have compiled from sources ordinary and obscure a treasure-trove of information from the everyday to the experimental, all of it useful and interesting. Over the years following the first edition I have used this book as a guide for exploratory refinements to all processes in my darkroom. 60 new pages add new techniques, new formulas, and explanation of the mysteries of development. Gordon Hutchings, author, The Book of Pyro This book is the most essential piece of darkroom equipment. It contains many of the best formulae - and the most useful information - from the entire history of photography. I only wish it had been published 53 years ago when I first fell in love with the darkroom. John Wimberley, Photographer This indispensable book, the 2nd edition of The Film Developing Cookbook, is a mine of authoritative, interesting and practical information about every aspect of film and its processing. A 'must buy' book for darkroom fans of all levels. Tim Rudman. Fine Art Photographer and Printer, Author Praise for the Previous Edition: This is an original, personal treatment of a complex technical subject. The author takes some unconventional positions, but his grasp of the underlying science is sound T.H. James, author of The Theory of the Photographic Process This elegant, user-friendly book clearly provides the photo-chemical information necessary for the photographer to be in control of his or her black and white film developing. I cannot praise the writing and design of The Film Developing Cookbook highly enough. Journal of the Print World ...this is a very important publication for every fan of the darkroom. You'll learn huge amounts of stuff about photographic processes. www.photocrack.com The authors have compiled from sources ordinary and obscure a treasure-trove of information from the everyday to the experimental, all of it useful and interesting.
