"Finally, yesterday I have been able to start reading your book. I have to say that you impressed me, not only for the knowledge but for the kind of book you have put together. I had in my mind a more 'mathematical' book where 1+1=2, but when I started reading it I understood that it is not like this. It is something much more personal." - A.B.
"The spiral binding and higher quality of print and paper really stand out against the 4th edition - worth the upgrade even before I've compared the contents!" - G.M.


"If you are new (or newish) to developing B&W film and eager to know more, this book is a great intro to the current field." Roscoe T.

"I have couple of books on this subject including "The Film Developing Cookbook (Darkroom Cookbook, Vol. 2) by Steve Anchell, Bill Troop". The Film Developing Cookbook (Darkroom Cookbook, Vol. 2) To me i think John Finch really pulled experience and real information into this small and concise book." Sunil K.

"It's one of my favorite B&W photography books, hands down." John P

"Great book on the Black and white process" F Master
