SOLD!

A nice, vintage copy of "Photographic Workroom Handbook", by Sigismund Blumann.
Camera Craft Publishing Co., San Francisco.
Third Edition, July 1930.

Camera Craft published a magazine back in the day... now best known for the vitriolic sparring between Ansel Adams and William Mortensen.

Well, Darkroom Chemists and Devotees of Archaic Darkroom Chemical Tomfoolery, this is the book for you!
Filled with fascinating recipes for developers, intensifiers, toners (Malachite Green, anybody?) reducers, and MORE!
Specific developers for certain papers! Amidol! Bromoil Process information, too!
A wealth of information.

Book is in surprisingly good shape for being 95 years old...
Nice, tight binding.
Previous owner's name inscribed on first title page, and on label inside front cover.
Small bleach stains on front cover.
See photos.

$15 includes CONUS shipping, PayPal fees, and a donation to Photrio.
