I really liked it. I enjoyed reading about the myriad of problems faced by the film-photographer. It seems like nature, the world, and God himself all work against the photographer. I loved reading how photographers invent and adapt solutions for protecting their gear in unforgiving terrain / environments. I loved reading about creative solutions to conveying movement, emotion, feeling, etc. Great read. Oh, and I forgot - the pictures in this textbook are (for the most part) absolutely stunning.

I'm so fascinated with this series. I just wish I'd read them as soon as I received them. This edition talks about the different issues that can come up with cameras, film and printing.

Published in 1971, this series is a comprehensive overview of many aspects of photography. Only the titles specific to equipment; The Camera; Light and Film; and The Print are a bit outdated, but not completely for the same principles still apply such as shutter speed, depth of field, etc. By far, a great series for any would be serious photographer even today.
