[pinhole-discussion] Photog book questions
In response to some of my inquiries I was referred to Ansel Adams' - The Camera, The Print and The Negative titles. I found the first (albeit not the exact title) in a library and the next 2 and Existing Light Photography today in a used bookstore. It bothered me that they were priced higher (US $12 ea). than the original published price (US$9.95), but they were hardbound, and I didn't want to take a chance on either their unavailability or perhaps only being available as paperback fo rmore, so I took a chance & got them. I hope I didn't get 'ripped'. There were two other books there I thought might be of interest to fellow list members, but chose not to get them myself because I have enough reading right now. >From a(n) L.P. Clerc book series, the title of which I have forgotten since the commute home, was volume 4, something to do with processing (much discussion of chemistry), and volume 5, Positive Materials (may not be complete name) .

Murray, The best source for finding used books (and used books prices) on the Internet is Bookfinder.com http://www.bookfinder.com/ Enter the information, press search and it will bring back the information from hundreds of booksellers accross North America and even Europe. I use it everytime I'm tempted to buy a book on eBay. It tells me what market prices are as opposed to inflated eBay prices... L.P. Clerc has a book with a highly technical chapter on pinhole photography (in French I'm afraid) but he has been for very long one the best reference on photographic process and materials (I'm not sure if he is still alive and his books are probably a bit dated as far as the actual technical information is concerned, but not the general framework).

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Photog book questions
The Time/Life Books series (The Camera, The Negative, The Print) are fairly easy to find at used book stores. I often see the original hard cover editions available for about $10 each. You may want to keep looking for them. Mike Vande Bunt Richard Heather wrote: Remember the published price is in ~1966 dollars. The AA books are scripture for budding photographers.
