My college professor for my photography class recommended this book for anyone in the class that was inexperienced in black and white photography. I am not, but I decided to buy it anyway to revive my memory (it has been years since I've been in the dark room), and it has turned out to be a great reference. It breaks down the language into fairly simple terms and has all the information you could possibly need to take a picture correctly, develop a roll of film, and print pictures in the darkroom. Definitely a great buy for anyone looking to begin black and white photography. Don't be afraid of the publication date, it holds just as much information, if not more, as newer books.
Covers the basics of B&W negative exposure and developing (darkroom fundamentals) in a very logical, straight to the point manner. The author Henry Horenstein accomplishes the objective without talking "over your head", This book has certainly helped me out and it is not one of those frustrating text books that make you want to stick a highlighter in your eyeball. Check it out for yourself, I give it a big thumbs up for B&W Film photography.
This is a great beginners book on photography concepts. Everybody can glean a nugget of info from the book. Good day. 😀

This is a very well thought out learning structured book. Very easy to understand, and follow. Gives very good examples of what is being discussed. After being out of Photography for some years, after reading this book, it all came back to me very easily. If you are a beginner, or wanting to try black and white, this is a must have on your book shelf.
