The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography

Rating:
Summary: A Bit Dated but Authoritative
Review: Who, What, Where, How? If it is related to photography, it is in this book. Well, almost.

The current edition of the book is a bit dated, originally published almost 10 years ago. Not surprising, it has little about digital photography. Perhaps an update is in the works -- the author's "Basic Photographic Materials and Processes" went into a second edition recently, with a major update on digital processing.
