5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the 3 book set, July 11, 2004

This review is from: Jason Schneider on Camera Collecting: A Fully Illustrated Handbook of Articles Originally Published in Modern Photography (Paperback)

Jason Schneider has written more about collectible cameras than anyone (though British author Ivor Matanle comes close). His monthly (now bi-monthly in Popular Photography) columns in Modern Photography on camera collecting are, for most of us, the fountainhead of camera collecting information. These columns are collected in a three book set, too long out of print.
Volume one is the best of the set, but all are desirable as each is completely different.
Though very opinionated, perhaps even curmudgeonly in tone, these essays are cram-packed with information that can not be found anywhere else. Look forward to hours of enjoyable reading about old cameras and collecting.
If you are interested in camera collecting you MUST have this set. Unfortunately, only available used.
Highly recommended! Two thumbs WAY up!

The Camera Collector series is the reason I have a modest collection of vintage cameras. I read these all through the 70's in Popular Photography and found myself going to Jason's column before reading anything else. It was great to find there three compilations. It brought back a lot of old memories and a lot of good reading. It is interesting even if you are not a collector.
