The Darkroom Cookbook

"This is the classic guide for analog photography enthusiasts interested in high-quality darkroom work... In addition to 'recipes' for darkroom experiments, this book contains invaluable information on developers, push-processing, reversal processing, enlarged negatives, pyro formulas, printing, and toning prints." -- shutterhub.org.uk, August 2017

"For everyone working with traditional film and darkroom procedures-which I rely on exclusively

for all my black and white work...because it's still the best-The Darkroom Cookbook is essential

for your library. No other book puts it all together as thoroughly and understandably as this book."

Bruce Barnbaum, author of The Art of Photography

"For many decades, Steve Anchell has dedicated himself to solid no-nonsense research and

information gathering on the entire breadth of black and white film and paper processing. And he

is still at it. I consider this book essential for all darkroom work and keep a much used copy right in

my darkroom. This book now stands alone for information of this kind."

Gordon Hutchings, photographer and author of The Book of Pyro

"Steve Anchell has done a fantastic job of creating THE essential reference for everyone who uses

film or prints in a darkroom. The Darkroom Cookbook contains the best and most useful of film

photography's formulas, plus an immense amount of information on how to use them correctly."

John Wimberley, photographer
