Hello
Is there any PDF version of "The Paper Negative" that I can download ?? Google e-books say they have it - but their link sends me to a universe of unrelated books... Or is it my search inability ??
Any tips to get an electronic copy of this book (free or at an affordable price ) are welcome.
Thank you in advance
Joao

Try the Internet Archive and The Guttenburg Project.

I’ve searched and searched and haven’t found one yet. The pamphlet is available in hard copy but quite expensive.

I know the article in Photrio Resources, it is certainly useful, and I am not questioning it - but I always prefer, when possible, to read the original source.

Copyright will be up in 2035.
There seems to be a 1987 reprint by J. Curtis pub.
Would a public library be able to find a inter library loan for you?
