 This is my oldest possession, a wonderful, out of print book that I found while searching the stacks many years ago while in college. A few years ago I found it for a few hundred dollars through a book collector.

Raw => Curves => Resize => NI => USM

Shot at f/22 for 30 seconds with a lightbox that shut off at about 22 seconds.

I don't expect this to score well, but I like to nonetheless.

Well rendered but a tad bland; needs deeper texture.

A rather centered photo with not much interest other than the detail on the cover. It would have been preferable to have more shadows in the shot.
