Mine
Two items for the aficionado of photography: An old photographic, non-silver, printing process text and a classic photography book. Except for the wealthy and knowledgeable, the old photographic processes [bromoil, carbon, cyanotype, ferro-gallic, gum-bichromate] are nearly extinct. They required great skill and patience...not characteristic of today's digital photography. Books on the old processes are scarce but a classic written by Robert Demachy who specialized in gum-bichromates is available online.
