Re: Photog book questions

Murray,

The best source for finding used books (and used books prices) on the
Internet is Bookfinder.com
http://www.bookfinder.com/
Enter the information, press search and it will bring back the
information from hundreds of booksellers accross North America and even
Europe. I use it everytime I'm tempted to buy a book on eBay. It tells
me what market prices are as opposed to inflated eBay prices...

L.P. Clerc has a book with a highly technical chapter on pinhole
photography (in French I'm afraid) but he has been for very long one the
best reference on photographic process and materials (I'm not sure if he
is still alive and his books are probably a bit dated as far as the
actual technical information is concerned, but not the general
framework).
