    New book on making silver gelatin dry plate, paper, and film

    Hi All,
    I finally finished a book I've been working on for a while now. I hope it contributes something to the field. Seems like it's never been a better time to consider making our own materials -- as in: it's a lot of fun!

    Sounds like an interesting book. I'm looking forward to getting a copy.

    Denise,

    Congratulations on the book. I know that it was a labor of love.

    Do you have any plan to sell this as an e-book?

    Don't do it. The "E" philosophy is the first runner-up root of all post modern evil.

    Is there another way to pay for this book without creating an account in the web site?

    Blurb is the only outlet right now. That keeps the purchase cost to a minimum. I hope they don't want anything more than email and mailing addresses. Blurb takes Paypal, so that should handle the mailing address. I have a Blurb account and it doesn't seem to generate a lot of extra, annoying emails, if that's your concern about creating an account (I know I hate cascades of junk email!)
