Abstract
OF the various diaries brought out for the present year, that issued by the proprietors of the Camera will be sure to give great satisfaction to photographers, both amateur and professional. This differs from other photographic diaries in two respects: in the first place, it is much larger, there being plenty of room for notes on experiences of various kinds, results of manipulating, developing difficulties, and many other details well worth recording, which are often so useful and valuable for reference. In the second place, there is a great amount of useful information condensed in the first fifty pages. Besides various tables and processes of developing, printing, &c., information similar to that included in almanacs and other diaries is inserted; the tables and standard formulæ relating to photography being printed in larger type, to enable the worker, when in the dark room, to refer to them. This diary is a very complete and useful publication, and, as a book of reference, is most handy.
The Photographer's Diary and Desk-book for 1889.
Compiled by the Editor of the Camera. (London: Published at the Office of the Camera, 1889.)
