WorkhorseDescription
Published as part of Golden Press's popular Golden Handbook series, this photography guide was aimed squarely at the growing postwar American amateur photography market. Containing 392 photographs and diagrams, - 185 in color, - it covered everything from basic exposure and film selection to darkroom technique, flash equipment, home movies, and special effects. Golden Handbooks were sold at newsstands and variety stores at accessible price points, making them a gateway into serious hobbies for millions of Americans. Well used and well loved, this copy reflects its era perfectly, - a working book that was actually used rather than simply collected.Category
