yep, bjp to the rescue
I was planning on looking this up in the '64 British Journal of Photography that I have, as a start, then maybe Developing, by Jacobsen, and the Film Development Cookbook. Old photography and photchem reference books are like a disease to me; one is never enough. I might even find a Mees at a price I like.
I was recently given a series of mid sixties photographic encyclopedias that are an interesting read. I usually get into them in the winter in front of the fireplace. Typically my wife will have on a movie that she announces at dinner 'we are to watch together'. I know when that phrase is rolled out that I better not dare slip off to the darkroom when I find it to be a chick flick that doesn't spin my wheel.
I just came back from holidaying , and one of my finds along the way was a '40 bjp. The editorials on wartime shortages, and loss of german camera suppliers is very interesting. And it is interesting to see what 'new' older formulae there is to ponder. We found it in northern Ontario, at a place called the Highway Bookshop, outside of Cobalt on Highway 11. They are literally close to the middle of nowhere, with likely over 2,000 used books related to photography alone for sale. They have web presence under abesbooks now, I have discovered, and I am sure I will be lured in that way again.
