Get your darkroom advice straight from the source--the experts at Kodak. This complete reference for black-and-white processing and printing, spiral bound and laminated for a long life, reflects Kodak's core philosophy: "The promise of innovation. And the guarantee of simplicity." In-depth information on exposing film, controlling development, selecting paper, using toners, even the safe handling of chemicals, make printing of both roll and sheet film foolproof. Dozens of easy-to-follow tables and charts help you pick the right film, paper grade, filters, and development time for your photographs, while an extremely useful enlarging dial computes proper exposure times for a variety of f-stop numbers, ISO paper speeds, and magnifications. Instructions and formulas for intensifying and reducing negatives, evaluating negatives, and printing for image stability take you through the entire procedure. Whether you are making prints for exhibition, for a course assignment, or for your own enjoyment, you are sure to produce superior results, more easily.

Its a time tested standard reference, that's why I bought it. There's not much to say except that this form requires a fixed minimum of words in this review or they'll keep pestering me to rate my purchase.
