Utterly wacko. That's a lot of money for learning about working with certain papers you can now no longer get.

This is a good point. There is a lot of good general information in the book on toning but many of his step tablets and prints in the book are on MGIV and MGWT. And obviously MGIV is gone now. Still a great book though, lots of useful information regardless of paper.

Tim makes some beautiful images and there is probably a better form of rewarding him personally than the flattery of paying some scalper a ton of money for the same information that can be gotten for free any number of other places. I remember when one of AA's personal light meters went up for sale and couldn't even fetch forty bucks. Nowadays some goon on Fleabay would try to ascribe magical qualities to the obsolete gadget and ask forty grand. Same goes for Nadeau's books. I think I paid a few bucks apiece for them. And he certainly deserves credit for keeping attention on certain otherwise forgotten processes (at least at the time). But again, there's not a thing in those books that I couldn't find in updated form right on the web, or by asking someone on the web, or even in a modern workshop session.

The information in Tim Rudman's toning book is well organized and visually well presented.

It is more than just a collection of useful information. It really helps one comprehensively understand a large number of the issues that arise when considering toning a print.

I recommend it highly, and understand why people pay a premium for it.

$1,899.00!!!............. Amazon

I have been searching everywhere for an 'affordable' copy and it looks like it isn't going to happen. I saw the previous high was 899.00! Crazy prices people are asking!

I just wanted to post this in case anyone is keeping a running tab. Jeesh!

Keeping fingers crossed for a new reprint.

Strewth - there's an heirloom on my bookshelf...!

I told my wife that we had one book on our bookshelves that I bought new but is currently listed at $1,899.00 on Amazon for a used copy.

Her response?

"Do you use it much?"
