3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, December 7, 2002

By	Bobby W. Fleenor (Cumberland, KY USA) - See all my reviews

Although I found some of the content of the book useful, like how a camera actually works and how different kinds of film is developed, the rest of the book seemed to drag on and on. There is also many typos throughout the book, especially towards the end and I found myself reading some of the same sentences over and over trying to make sense of what the author was trying to say because of the typos. It dosent go into alot of depth on how to actually capture a spirit on film either. This is what disappointed me the most. All and all though I will keep this book on hand in my paranormal investigations as a reference book on camera and film but I could have bought a book from Kodak for that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very useful, December 16, 2004

By	New Ghost Researcher - See all my reviews

I was a professional photographer many years ago and have kept it up as a hobby. One of my new hobbies is paranormal research and I have been using both film and digital cameras (and a new digital video camera) in pursuing that avocation.

I just received this book today and in reading it (could be finished in a couple of hours) I find it fairly useless. There is nothing new here that cannot be found doing a google search. Plus the feel/readability of the book (size, typefaces, layout, graphics, photographs, etc...) is horrible. The only thing good I could say is the bindery seems to have a done a decent job.

If you are looking (as I am) for a good one volume compendium of how to use your photographic equipment in paranormal research, look past this one.
