Well, I just compared the 2001 photoguide to the 1956 photoguide. I have
both right here. The 2001 is about 1/4 inch taller and slightly thicker, the
cover on the old one looks to be a lot more durable. I seem to remember that
back in the fifties they cost a buck (you could buy a paperback novel for 25
cents back then). No one ever gave me one for free..

That's a shame. A perfectly good advice manual, once in the hands of Pixel 
Press, becomes a dinky kind of shelf book, too large to slip in a shirt 
pocket. 
I believe when KODAK first published it, they intended for it to travel with 
you, taking up as little space as possible, but still affording you the quick 
refrence data you needed. 

Now...

It's a 4x5" spiral bound, card covered book. So pretty small.
They have, however, packaged it in a removable card outer cover approx 
8x10" so it looks like you're getting twice as much book for your money.
Dinky little book with lots of tables and dials and the peculiar use of the 
words "backlighted" and "frontlighted".
Oh, and you have to know what feet and inches are, of course.
