Thanks Rado, that was the only source I know too. I wanted something to print out, so much easier to read than online. I may PDF it myself.

Thanks Tom. I made one too - a helluva lot of work! I also have Lea's book in PDF. I'll upload it (if I can remember). That should complete all of the "big ones" - they are all available now PDF! ------------- |

my pleasure guys! Enjoy it! I'm sure you're aware, but if not, you can also find a number of interesting historical texts on Google Books. I recently downloaded these two: http://books.google.com/books?id=LooDAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=collodion - A manual of photographic chemistry, including the practice of the collodion ...by Thomas Frederick Hardwich - 1883and http://books.google.com/books?id=sG0DAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=collodion - A treatise on the positive collodion processby Thomas Sutton - 1857 |

Pages 30 and 31 are missing. Or is it just me? Maybe I need to update my acrobat reader. |

yes, I have page 30 and 31 missing too. I get an error code when I try to view them - "there was an error trying to read this document (111)". Any chance you could reinsert those two pages Tom?

weird... must have been an error generating that first PDF. Thanks for the heads up guys (I had been using it locally as a word doc!) I uploaded a new 'complete' version at the same location: http://www.f295.org/texts/silverSunbeam.pdf - http://www.f295.org/texts/silverSunbeam.pdf enjoy? :) ------------- |
