I had an older edition of this book which I found indispensable. This new edition has so much new information and chapters by renowned photographers that I would now rate this book as absolutely essential reading for any darkroom worker. I really like the authors strong emphasis on darkroom safety. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

Love this book. It's full of information beyond the many useful formulas it contains.

A great update to this classic and indispensable book.
