5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK ON PHOTO TECHNIQUES....
I always take this book with me whenever I work in the Darkroom.
This book is concise in its technical details and instructions. Easily understood and full of tips, this book will start you on the correct photography path. Excellent for beginning photo students, very helpful to photographers already working in the darkroom.

This review is from: Alpha Teach Yourself Black and White Photography in 24 Hours (Paperback)
If what you want to learn are the steps to being able to develop and print your own black and white images, then only Part III of this book will be of interest to you. Parts I and II delve into the rudimentary basics of photography in general such as choosing a lens and camera, what medium and large format is, taking people pictures, etc..

In this sense, the book can be considered a basic introduction to photography in general. It is not specialized to black and white photography as the title implies. If you already have the basics of taking pictures and just want to learn the best methods to begin developing and printing your own black and white prints, skip this book. It will repeat a lot of what you already know.

However, if you are truly a beginner photographer and want a good overview, with some information on doing black and white photography thrown in, this book may be just the book for you.

I find the title misleading in that the sections on black and white photography are minimal in comparison to the sections on the basics of photography in general.
