This review is from: TCWPCE: Ambrotypes, Ferrotypes/Tintypes, Alumitypes & Plexitypes (Paperback)
Quinn has laid it all out for you. While this isn't a 100% hold-your-hand and whisper in your ear book, it feels quite adequate for the advanced or adventurous amateur or working professional. If you can follow directions for cooking and baking, then you can follow these directions![...] Get help from Quinn and the rest of the black-paw crowd!

Great Manual,
This review is from: TCWPCE: Ambrotypes, Ferrotypes/Tintypes, Alumitypes & Plexitypes (Paperback)
I am new to wet plate photography, and needed a manual to work from. This book includes every formula I need, along with some information I thought I didn't need. The Information is clear and concise, and presented in a very easy to follow manner. The photos that accompany the text are very helpful and inspirational.I am just starting out, but I can't imagine that I will ever need another manual. Great job Quinn, next step should be a workshop dvd...I would definitely make that purchase.
