Your Film and the Lab
Author: L. Bernard Happe
Year: 1978 (copy 1995)
ISBN: 0-240-51212-x
Language: English

Actually I should have started with this book because it learns readers how to ‘talk to the lab’. My experience tells me that not all customers understand lab techniques, so they do not know what can be done and what not. So it’s good for both if all speak the same technical language
