2001-03-02 Very helpful for the advanced B&W enthusiast

A very hands-on guide to improve your negatives and your printing skills. All important areas of advanced B&W fotografie are covered in a very comprehensive format. Many step-by-step descriptions. I read the book from the first to the last page - which is a pretty superb statement for this type of literatur. I also liked the very foot-on-the-earth style it's written in. It's recommended to buy his first book as well - there are few - but important - references to basic techniques in this second volume, which need you to read the first as well.
