the books i can find (second hand) are somewhat pricey.
so, if you could only buy one of his books (or books about him) which one would it be and why?
btw. i feel especially attracted to "mirrors messages manifestations" .
i do not know why, but its pricier than others.. for what reason?
if someone here has a copy to sell, please let me know.
joyeuses fetes,
chris

I agree with Ralph Lambrecht.

The little yellow paperback...

Zone System Manual How to Previsualize Your Pictures

Not only do you get cardinal Zone System instruction, you get an introduction into Minor White's way of thinking (a little bit of "Gestalt").

hmm.. makes me curious.
although i wonder, once the zone system has been understood, the use of tools to set up the proper values within your workflow, and the understanding of +- development. how much more is there to it?
i really wonder how it can fill a book of 100+pages...
i dont want to sound bold or pretend i have totally understood the details, just curious..

but yeah, i am fascinated by minor whites character so far, and i am gonna look out for it. thanks

What's amazing is how much it packs into that little paperback...

It's the thoughts that this book presents that sets it apart from all others...

Here's one of my favorites, showing the cycle which operates clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time...

I have just about every book published and would highly recommend a recent one that I consider the best because it pulls together both his philosophy, teachings, sequences as they were meant to be presented, and his life.
