Judy,
You can't really mean that. The early editions of the Ansel Adams books
(Morgan and Morgan) were quite dense; however, there is soooo much there
that one can't really compare the NYGS editions to them, they are just two
different things. Unfortunately, much of the technical info in the early
editions is now obsolete as materials are no longer available, but then the
idea always was to do it yourself, Ansel just gave us some principles, what
we apply them to (or choose not to apply them to) is up to us.
Hey, those original books are almost at the point of being post-factory
wouldn't you say?
Hal
