I can hardly blame the authors, who are photographers and not designers, but the design and layout of this book left something to be desired. Like other books from Lulu, it seems like the book was "designed" using Microsoft Word, meaning that much of the typography is unappealing and difficult to read. Apart from the amateurish layout, there are also a few typos that would have been easily caught by a careful editor.
I know this is the shadow world of self-publishing, so perhaps my high expectations are unjustified. But for $38 a pop, I hope the authors will hire a professional designer to do the layout next time around and give this interesting topic the treatment that it... More >

"Blueprint to cyanotypes"
This book is a 10 out of 10! Great examples and concise explanations as to how to get started and way beyond. It is a wonderful addition to any library and I love the fun notes like "Exposures Around the World".
"great book!"
I just received my copy, what a well written resource for a novice like me to this process. I can't wait to get started. The book is laid out like a good cookbook - it seems that you can't go wrong!
Thanks again.

"What a great book!"
I started making cyanotypes just a couple of weeks before this book came out and I'm just shaking my head over how much I had to figure out the hard way. Even just having such high quality pictures of what everything's supposed to look like at every stage would have been a real help.
The good news is that it also covers additional topics like toning that I haven't had a chance to try yet and now I feel like I'm ready to take those on!

"Re: Good book for starters"
Hi!
Thank you for your feedback! It's a beginners guide, so that's why there is information to get started, and also relatively advanced information.
An advanced guide is planned, where more toning and experimental processes will be described.
Kind regards,
Malin
