Greetings from Norfolk UK You might also consider the Gevaert Manual of Photography (assuming it is still available). I have this and the Ilford manual, and find the Gevaert Manual the better, although it does not cover quite so many of the old processes of image production. My copy is the 5th edition, 1962, I do not know what later editons have been put out. Richard.
