a good book to find specific items that can boost your quality when you improve them. It's a technical book.

A Must Read Selection for Serious Photographers

Out with the old wives tales and the unproven, anecdotal legends that persist among so many "experts" in the world of photography! Mr. Henry is a retired clinical chemistry researcher who found many of the accepted methods to be unfounded and not actually true when careful, scientific methods were used to verify them. If you are interested in the fine points of darkroom work and in developing a neutral starting point with your own materials, you will find this a valuable read. It's well written, well organized and everything is meticulously documented and verified.

fantastic

This is an amazing book. Richard Henry took a very scientific approach to testing. The book has *real* data about what goes on in B & W processing including fixing and washing. Even if you don't do your own B & W darkroom work this book is well worth reading and with contribute to your understanding of how film and paper work.
