Can anyone recommend a book on techniques for print toning. I know nothing about toning. Also would like paper suggestions. Looking for a paper that responds to a wide range of toners, not one that excels in only one area (currently printing on Ilford MGIV and Arista Edu Ultra). Thanks.
Tim Rudmans book on Toning
Eddie Ephrams - Creative Elements & Gradient Light
Tim Rudman's Toning book is available on the used book market but at rather high prices. You can get a new reprinted version directly from the author at Tim Rudman website

Dreggin up an old thread.
In an effort to improve my print toning, a friend recommends I read Tim Rudman's book, ‘The Photographer’s Master Printing Course’. Apparently, it is out of print and only available on the used market. In researching my purchase options, I found Mr. Rudman's ‘The Master Photographer’s Toning Book - The Definitive Guide’. It appears that the Toning Book is a slightly newer publication? However, before I pull the trigger on a purchase, what Rudman book would you recommend? I tend to think the Toning Book would be best, it claims to be the 'Definitive Guide', but I am not familiar with either of these scholarly tomes. Your comments and recommendations are appreciated.

I have an excellent, signed copy of Tim's toning book that I'd be willing to part with. PM me if interested.
Alan I have a friend that would be interested , I have a signed copy as well, if you still have it send me an email bob@silvershack.caOriginally Posted by Alan9940
Tim Rudman’s book on toning is the definitive one (in my humble opinion).
I have made extensive notes from it that I refer to regularly.
Eddie Ephrams book is fabulous in its own way, too.
One of its strengths are the super creative examples that can inspire you to “color outside of the lines”. It was an eye-opener for me after I read Tim Rudman‘s book.
Get both!

Eddie has two books - creative elements and gradient light - I have them both they are great but I still think Tim Rudmans is exceptional
Every one of Tim's books are excellent.
Eddie Ephraum's Creative Elements - Landscape Photography - Darkroom elements is also wonderful.
