A friend recently gave me this book, full title, How to make good pictures : a book for the amateur photographer ([1922]) available here for free Internet Archive.
He gave me a clean 1st edition hardback, which is the size of a paperback.
Inside has no date, but MOMA lists it as from 1915's. Page down here for Moma's take away.
I find the book fascinating and still useful in it's very concise, yet accurate explanations of all any photographer might want to know. Obscure techniques are clarified.
I suggest reading this book for many tips on older thinking and many ways to make pleasing images. I now am carrying it with me for reading at meals.
See you soon Mr Moto Guzzi!
