Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent historical and "how-to" source.
Review: One of the best books I discovered covering non-silver processes of photographic image-making. The author establishes the historical context of each process discussed and provides clear, step-by-step methods on the process itself. This is one of the most valuable resources in my library. In fact, I need a new copy to replace the worn original.

This is a must-have for any artist interested in non-silver photographic processes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still the best
Review: This book is almost 20 years old, and it is still the best book on the subject in my opinion. I look forward to upcoming works by this author, a celebrated photographer and family man.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth the Wait!
Review: Well, after asking endless questions to some of the "so called" self-acclaimed "experts" in the field of wet plate photography; Crawford's book was a breath of fresh air. I only wish that I could have come across this book early in my search. Instead I had to wade through BBS systems with adults who like to dress up and play "war" (i.e., the Civil War). With this book you will be able to bypass all of the fruitless searches you will have if you ask present day practitioners, who do not want to share the process (or are more likely unknowledgeable themselves). Save yourself the problems, efforts and misinformation. Buy this book!
