RE: texts

I couldn't agree with Loris more. Both books are great and the basis of any
starting library on alt processes.

BTW, the James book has some chemistry measurement errors if I recall
correctly, I think it was with the cyanotype chemistry. As a rule now, I
always consult several sources before I mix a new chemistry for comparison
reasons.

I have The Book of Alternative Processes by Christopher James and Coming
into Focus edited by John Barnier. Both are very nice books and I think
can be purchased for a cost below the rare / hard to find / old KOL
(ITOH, the first non techincal part of KOL is great - "the syntax").

Regards,
Loris.
