Darkroom Cookbook 4th ed Comments

[Kevin Caulfield]

Has anybody bought the new edition of the Darkroom Cookbook yet? If so, I'd be interested to know how much new content and how much revised content is in the new edition. Please let us know what you think about the latest edition. Thanks.

I am having a hard time getting this book.

Seems I can get it through Amazon, but the link in Mr. Anchell's website to buy directly from the publisher takes me nowhere.

I am considering the ebook version for my iPad, but it's either not available in the Brazilian iBooks Store or not available for iOS at all.

Going to check if I can get it in my wife's Kindle...

I have a Kindle and really love it for regular books. But typically with a reference book you look up a subject and go to those pages. I don't know how well an ebook would work for a reference work which depends heavily on page numbers. IIRC, internally the Kindle does not use a book's page numbers (they're just part of a page's text) and the Kindle is essentially unaware of them. So going to a particular page might be a bit tedious to do. Certainly is with regular books. It would all depend on how the ebook version was set up. Does it use hypertext, etc. Then too do you want to use your Kindle in a wet area where chemicals are being mixed? I would personally prefer a hard copy.

(...) I would personally prefer a hard copy.

Thanks for your opinion. It really makes sense and I am now more inclined to get a hard copy.
