Written in easy-to-understand language, The Darkroom Cookbook is the one
source every photographer needs for common and rare photographic formulas.
This book shares tried-and-true techniques for silver-based processes and
provides the keys to unlocking creativity through the mastery of the
'ingredients' of photography - namely the chemicals used to develop, fix,
stop and tone.
"The Darkroom Cookbook is destined to become a classic. For anyone working
in black-and-white it is a must have." - Shutterbug, September 1996
The Film Developing Cookbook (Steve Anchell and Bill Troop)
Contains the most current material available on film developing. Filled with
relevant, hard to find information. This companion to The Darkroom Cookbook
will help photographers become familiar with different developer formulas
for achieving a wide range of pictorial effects, and teach them how to mix
and use photographic solutions from scratch-even to create new ones. Many
of the developing formulas and archival fixing solutions contained in The
Film Developing Cookbook have never before been published.
"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
A comprehensive how-to manual for printing on variable contrast papers. Provides a wealth of proven techniques.
Invaluable reference for art photographers.
"Steve has done it again! Just as in the wonderful Darkroom Cookbook, he
has managed to pull together everything you need to know about printing
with multigrade papers. A significant contribution which every black and
white darkroom enthusiast should own." - Joe Englander
"Anchell's text contains a wealth of useful and clearly stated information.
It should be a valuable addition to any serious printer's library." - Alan Ross
"This is a very informative yet easy to read book from which most printers
will pick up a few pointers, even those who have been printing on variable
contrast paper for years." - Steve Hynes
