I had a copy of this book for years, its about three inches thick. Worth getting an old pre-digital edition cheap. Some members here who don't normally use film will find the answer to every question they may ask!

This one!

Any links for this still up?
My hardbound version is falling apart.

It, and many other books, available in different versions on archive.org

I did a metadata search rather than text contents search.

I have an actual multi-volume encyclopedia of photography, like about 20 volumes -- I picked up used somewhere. Probably at a yard sale or maybe a used book store. I don't think I paid much for it. Copyright is probably in the 70s or 80s. But it still has a lot of useful information in it.

I don't recall the name or the publisher off hand. It's in storage somewhere, and I don't know where.

I also have an Encyclopedia Britannica that my parents gave me right about when google started taking off, rendering most all encyclopedias irrelevant. Including photographic encyclopedias.
