Rating: Summary: A GREAT BOOK FOR LESS THAN PERFECT CONDITIONS Review: I found this book to be very practical and direct. What impressed me most was that the authors took into account the fact that not everyone has the ideal accomodations for a darkroom. Each section goes into the how-to of every phase of setting up a simple, basic to the sophisticated darkroom. Everything is spelled out in detail allowing you to "opt out" of any part of the process that you feel may be "over your head" (call the plummer) and to deal with those that are within your reach. In between, the book allows you to peek at how others have set up their facilities. Over all a great book for anyone looking to set up a dark room the "right way".

Rating: Summary: The perfect book! Review: This book is amazing. It really has everything you would need to know to build a darkroom, from building the walls, doing plumbing and electricity, to how to build a sink. I am so happy I bought this book - there were so many little things I didn't even consider until I started reading this book. Now I know what I need to build the darkroom, and can actually envision what it will be like. I have so many ideas, and I'm really excited about building my darkroom!
Rating: Summary: This is a great book for people wanting to set up a darkroom Review: This is an excellent book that follows you through the process of determning a room, making modifications if neccesary and creating the physical space for a darkroom. In addition creating the room, it will take you through the equipment requirements and general layout and design for a good working darkroom. I used the layout and general design sections to create my own darkroom, and found all the lists, worksheets and diagrams invaluable. There is even a small section in the beginning that takes you through some famous photographers darkrooms. All the information you would need, and well organized.
