Without a doubt, this is the best book ever for photography. Begins with "how to load film" and runs through every minor detail you could ever care to know. Then, it ends with a lovely recap of photography history. This book is hefty, weighing-in at about 10 pounds (not a real measurement) and 500 pages (real page count, yes). It's also 14x14 inches in size. I think the current editions are a couple hundred dollars, so buy a used one. This is the 7th edition and I guess it's as g...more
An immensely detailed and very helpful book. It's name is quite apt as in many respects this tome feels like the alpha and omega of photography (from a technical aspect, of course). The chapters are well written, concise and easily understood. With a subject as detailed as photography it can be quite overwhelming to broach for the first time, but there is nothing in this book that made me feel over my head.

A good book about the basics of photography, but it usually doesn't go into enough detail, and it's retardedly expensive. They could have left out a few of their giant glossy photographs, and gone into more detail about what f-stop means (e.g., what's the lowest f-stop a lens can have? Why?). I thought I would use this book as a reference, but once you read it once, you pretty much know everything.
THE book on photographic. I don't rate it 5 stars because of the $100 price, and the need for more updating with current use of software and digital photography.
everything you need to know about 35mm and digital photography
gives you the basics, and much more.

Great book on manual photography for beginners.
Photography by Barbara London (1997)
very good book
Excellent resource.
Should be on every photography teacher's bookshelf. The newer versions include digital photography, from a traditional photographer's perspective. Make sure you have the most recent version of the book as digital photography is constantly changing. (I would not recommend this book for the teacher who does an occasional photo lesson in an Art I class.)
I am just starting this book but it looks amazing. So much information and beautiful examples provided. Looking forward to reading this book.
Excellent book for anyone wanting to learn about photography.

Recommends it for:
Any photo student or someone interested in learning everything about photography
Look for the examples for color film grain (ISO 100 & 1600) on page 83. I took those pictures! Wow... flowers...
This is an incredibly comprehensive book on film and digital photography, albeit a bit difficult to lift.
An excellent general overview of the photography process from its beginnings through to digital.
