The Manual of Photography is the standard work for anyone who is serious about photography: professional photographers and lab technicians or managers, as well as students and enthusiastic amateurs who want to become more technically competent. The authors provide comprehensive and accessible coverage of the techniques and technologies of photography.

Major new updates for the ninth edition include:

• Coverage of digital techniques -- more emphasis on electronic and hybrid media
• Greater coverage of color measurement, specification and reproduction-illustrated with a new color-plate section

The long history of The Manual proves its value and success as it now enters its third century with our new ninth edition. But we have parts of the very first edition online, published as The Ilford Manual of Photography by C.H. Bothamley, dated 1890 so you can see how much has changed!
