Product Description
Review
"A huge volume of knowledge, we would call this book no less than a bible... it is something to be studied and not simply read. Every serious photographer should have a copy of The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography, and anyone who is genuinely interested in learning, will find himself going over its pages again and again."--Better Photography "There is hardly an aspect of photographic practice and equipment that is not covered in this encyclopedia." -- The Picture Professional, Quarterly Magazine of the American Society of Picture Professionals, third issue 2007 "This work is without doubt one of the most important single-volume encyclopedias in print." "It is a must purchase for all public and academic librabries, and the relatively low price puts it within reach of most individuals who are involved in the photographic arts." -CHOICE (Nov. 2007)

Format:Hardcover
This is an absolutely amazing resource for anyone who has a serious interest in photography. I have only had the book for a day or so, and have only had a chance to browse through a few chapters, but already I have been educated and inspired many times by the sheer volume and quality of information I've found inside.
I was initially reluctant to spend so much on a single book, but I am already glad I did, as this title covers everything I could want to know as I develop my understanding of photography.
I can see this book becoming a firm cornerstone of my photographic library for many years to come.
