I actually attended classes taught Mr. Warren and was around when he
was developing his first edition. He loved what he did and it showed in his
teaching and this is what is in his book. A love and practical understanding
and teaching to bring out the "best photographer" in you.

The way that Bruce teaches the zone system could not be better explained by Ansel Adams himself, this book will teach you how to master all aspects of photography, and will serve as your base to become a professional or a great enthusiast. It covers all subjects from black and white to color.

Great resource, excellent in nearly all respects from the information and how it's written to design and layout...and beautiful photo examples all throughout. I originally bought this book when it first came out (it was for a college photography class) and I still read it today, both for reference and for enjoyment.
