Books on Printing - Advanced Beginner to Intermediate

[Shawn Rahman]

I'm relatively new to self-processing & printing, and would like to know what books the forum recommends for taking printing to a slightly higher level.

My first forays into gelatin-silver printing were done after and while reading Henry Horenstein's Black & White Photography , and I am generally pleased with my results thus far. Recognizing that I have a lot to learn still, where can I go from here?

Would experimentation (trial & error) serve me well at this point, or is there a book that is indispensible? I've not done any kind of toning, nor have I tried burning/dodging.

Thanks!

I would get Tim Rudmans books, especially the printers course.

I did a list on Amazon a long time back, any of these are great...

Horestein has another more advanced book then the one you have been using.

Maybe the one I have?
"Beyond basic photography" a technical manual!

Excellent book!
