"This book is for beginners. This book is for experts. This book is for me. Even though, at this time, I haven’t taken the time to work with alternative processes, since the 1970s, after taking a look at this new release (and update) from Jill Enfield, I am ready to borrow a friend’s 5x7, and go out in the field and try my hand (again!)."
