The Wet Plate Manual Ships Today!

Wow! It's been a loooong time coming but it's here! Everyone that's ordered a manual (and patiently waited, thank you!) will be receiving a copy in the next few days!! I'm elated!!

I got a load in tonight via UPS (was just here) - here are some snaps of the book:

Front Cover (changed a bit from the draft).


Back cover. I decided to immortalize the Rev Dan Weldon,
my resonator teacher... I really like this image, it's personal
and means a lot to me.


For those that contributed; thank you! You're published!!! Great
examples of common problems, I appreciate your support. (and yes, you
are credited with a byline and copyright).


One of my goals was to make something nice to look at and easy to
read. I hope I accomplished that with this manual. I included a lot of
personal images that are my favorites.


I thought that this image was an appropriate one for the "Troubleshooting"
chapter, how could I NOT use it?



I tried to illustrate (through photographs and drawings) what happens
during this process from mixing chemistry to developing a plate. If you
like the forum board, I think you'll like the manual.
It's 139 pages with MSDS and some 19th Century material (Towler)
in the 13th Chapter.

Thanks Mark.

I have plenty in there with my mistakes too, it's what makes wet plate, wet plate! Some examples are just better than others!

I'm really happy about being able to add those at the last minute. It really drives the point home about what these anomalies look like and some possible remedies for them.

Thanks again Mark!!

Hi Quinn!

I'm in the UK and I've tried to order your manual from Amazon.co.uk but it isn't in stock, Amazon.com have a 4-6 week waiting list (a conservative estimate, if my experience is anything to go by, plus they add $10 to the price!) and Altphoto source does not have a shipping rate for the UK.

When you leave for Europe, will you be arranging for a european or UK distributor?

regards,
Neil.

How can we get one here? I must have missed a posting about it. 

Originally posted by quinn Hi Neil, I'll bring a few and get you one when I get to Germany. Email me your info and you'll have one in a month or sooner. Thanks! Q

Thanks Quinn, much obliged!  I'll PM you.
Regards,
Neil.

Thanks Quinn! Have placed an order and am looking forward to getting the manual.
