The British Journal Photographic Almanac for 1900

Abstract

REGULARLY every year we receive this most useful annual, and as regularly we have to record its growth. This year the volume reaches the grand total of 1516 pages, and is the largest yet issued, exceeding that of last year by about 40 pages. The popularity of such a book can be best judged by its sale, for photographers soon find out which of the numerous books on this subject are suited to their needs. We gather from the British Journal of Photography that the 1899 edition of this almanac, an edition which was composed of 20,500 copies, was rapidly disposed of within three months of publication, a fact which speaks for itself. This, the thirty-ninth annual issue, is quite up to, even if it does not exceed in interest, the previous volumes. It will be found an absolute mine of information: we notice a great number of articles dealing with all branches of the art which gives the reader hints for future work, and results of the experience gained by others. Other parts are devoted to a summary of the progress made during the past year, practical notes and suggestions, miscellaneous information, and many other sections of interest. As usual, the advertisements form a great portion of the book.

The British Journal Photographic Almanac for 1900.

Edited by Thomas Bedding. Pp. 1516. (London: Henry Greenwood and Co., 1899.)
