"What a great looking body of work he has put together. Thanks for your help and pass on my compliments to Sandy!"

"I slurped down the entirety of Sandy King's Book of Carbon and Carbro in just a few days after having received it. It was very clearly written; a positively easy read. I eagerly await later passes through the book as I get myself setup for carbon printing."
"Very informative book. Sandy King lays the process out so that it is very easily understood."

Description:
A working guide to making carbon and carbro prints, including detailed instructions on making carbon tissue and final support papers. Carbon is in the opinion of many the most beautiful of all photographic print-making processes and the author of this manual is one of the leading authorities on carbon printing in the world.
Highly recommended.

Why is this book here? This book is a self-published book. It means the subject was probably too expert or narrow to be taken on by a big publisher, and the author has paid for publishing the book themselves.
Alternative Processes can sometimes be a very narrow field and to help authors distributing their self-published books we have a special section in the shop where these can be bought.
Published a book yourself? If you have published a book on Alternative Processes, or any other related subject, don't hesitate to contact us if you want to sell it here or read more here.
