Reviews of seventh edition: "A simply excellent introduction to photography - both for students and home enthusiasts" Online reviewer - Amazon "I found this book to be the best that I have ever seen on the subject of photography not only for 'basic' knowledge but for far more advanced subjects. It is clear, precise, easy to read and more important, easy to understand and apply." Robert A. Freson, Professional Travel and Nature Photographer "...an excellent reference manual for anyone starting out in photography." Amateur Photographer Reviews of previous editions: "This is a book that no one who takes photography seriously should be without."
