The Master Printers Workbook: A Professional Guide to Black & White Darkroom Technique

Rating:
Summary: I liked it
Review: The Master Printer's Workbook is not a classic how-to text, but I can't agree with the negative reviews posted by some other readers. Macleod uses a selection of superb photos as examples for demonstrating various printing techniques. Images of Iggy, Paul Weller or Kylie are a lot more interesting than the pix you see in most books on the subject.

Summary: Ditto re above review re printing details inadequate
Review: I agree with the above review 100%. I had great expectations about this book yet experienced disappointment about the sparse technique details. Bartlett's book is immensely more fantastic in its presentation and can't be beat!

Summary: Great photos but info about each print is lacking....
Review: I love the prints in this book but I wish the author would have spent more time detailing how he got the final print. I recomend "Black & White: Photographic Printing Workshop" by Larry Barlett. Larry's book also has beautiful images but he shows where he dodged and burned and he shows the straight print and the finished print. Buy Larry's book before this one.

Summary: The Title "Workbook" is laughable!!!!
Review: This is without a doubt, one of the worst books on technique I have ever read. So poorly written that I did not even finish it. Seems to be more of a showcase for the authors work, than anything else. Pictures but darn little info about how they were made. Don't waste your money.
