Roger Hicks and his photographer wife Francis Schultz are almost a cottage industry unto them selves. Many photos taken and sold, many products tested, articles written,and books aplenty published. This book was sponsored by Ilford but is universally useful. They succeed in telling just what you need as it is needed but not too much. It is a good trick and this is a good starter book for black and white. Buy it and benifit.

I am surprised by the previous review of this book. This is perhaps the easiest and clearest book I have seen to guide the completely uninitiated into the process of developing black and white film and producing photographic prints. It contains step by step photos throughout the entire process which I found very clear. I highly recommend it.

this book was a big dissapointment for the money spent. Has step by step pictures showing processes but the captions underneath the pictures are vague often leaving you with questions that this book can't offer. Barely touches the steps for developing film that has been pushed/ pulled. I would look for a different book if I had to do it all over again. Some sections are decent, but the majority is not and I would look into a different book.
