My first attempts in the darkroom were some 31 years ago and I purchased many,many books to discover the how and why of black and white printing. I still have all those books, BUT now that I have Tim Rudman's book in my new darkroom the others gather dust. This book is the benchmark for beginners and Pro's.
Thank you Amazon for making it available.

I am an amature photographer who wanted to get into printing my photos. This book was the foundation of my learning. It was very comprehensive and easy to understand. I found that it was technical enough to make you understand the principles, yet pragmatic enough to use immediatly. Mr. Rudman has done a great service to the photographic community.

For the novice, this book could be a little bit too much advanced. For the seasonal (but serious) dark room user, plentiful advices are available, yet the author seems to be in a hurry to go to some points that do not add up in creativity. Well written, I would quote that book as a seasonal reference. The technical side is usefull.
I would believe that the author has a very good knowledge for handling toning procedures. Yet, it's useless to try to give a better rendition by toning an inappropriately printed image.Should it be rewritten, the goal should be to give more details on toning, and suggests that it is for advanced photo printers.
Example or really good book on advance printing December 8, 2001

I am quite new to Black and White printing (that is I do my own printing but I am not professional). I am amazed by the wealth of information given in this book on toning, bleaching, multiple printing and so on. Furthermore you could really see what author mean by showing photographs before and after using some bleaching toning or other technics. And photographs by itself don't feel to be unnatural, in a sense, that most of them show some grain in much or less degree depending on used techinics. Of course, some photographers who like gradual soft sort of photography may not like Rudman's harsh contrasty style of depicting nature, but who cares, it's his artistic expression. He could really explain how he got one or another effect. By the way, if at the end you don't like this book you may leave it for the simple fact of its attractiveness. It could serve you as nice coffee table book, quality is superb. Excellent book.
