I have not yet tried making a Collotype, but it is high on my list, and I
now own everything I need to make them. I would highly recommend Kent B.
Kirby's book STUDIO COLLOTYPE; CONTINUOUS TONE PRINTING FOR THE ARTIST,
PRINTMAKER, & PHOTOGRAPHER (ISBN: 0-9620699-1-4). The book is published
by Heliochrome Press which is affiliated with Studley Press (same
address). Kirby's book can be purchased directly from the publisher:
Heliochrome Press, 151 East Housatonic Street, Dalton, Massachusetts
01226, U.S.A.. I do not recall the exact price offhand, but I think it is
somewhere in the $65 (U.S.) range. You might also try to track down a
copy of Thomas Wilson's THE PRACTICE OF COLLOTYPE published in 1935 by
American Photographic Publishing in Boston, though I suspect that you will
find much of the information the same as in KEEPERS OF THE LIGHT as I
suspect that most of the information in the latter came from Wilson's
book.
