5.0 out of 5 stars not for beginners, August 28, 2000

By	Alexandra D. Lamarsh "dogman" (Renton, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book contains the most scholarly research I've ever read on this process. As such it is not for beginners. I have heard some complaints: that the author provides too much information and clouds the issue. But as the title of the review says its not for beginners. The book provides all the information necessary for the experienced alt\process photographer to fully utilize this medium and exercise complete artist control over the results. The authjor has ammassed an impressive amount of historical data and data from his own investigations making it well worth the read.
