    What would be the best book on this subject (It'd need to be available on Amazon)?

    buy coffer's book.

    i can broker the deal for you. i do this for many non USA wet plate people. send me paypal (plus all the fees obviously) and i will send a check to john. he will send you a manual.

    we have done this like 9 times already! i should just buy a stack of manuals from him ......

    let me know.

    +1 for either Coffer or Quinn's books/videos. I am a beginner and have both. Both have been beneficial to me. Seeing the videos of the actual pouring and processing certainly helped me make a better plate.

    Hi Eddie:

    You posted this a while back. I am interested in a copy of "The Doers Guide to Wet-Plate Collodion Photography, plus complete DVD Set". Are you still interested in helping international buyers?

    Thanks,

    Kurt

    Eddie had a house fire in Sept. so he might be preoccupied. Has anyone heard any news about his rebuilding progress?
