A nice, vintage copy of "Photographic Workroom Handbook", by Sigismund Blumann.

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.

Small bleach stains on front cover.
See photos.
