    Can somebody double check this for me, buying a book

    Whis is this book: "The 35mm Photographer's Handbook "

    £14 at Amazon

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...=18G8235RRPSOB

    But only £0.53 here:

    The main difference I can see is that the one mentioned above ^ is a preowned/2nd hand copy of the book. Where as the Amazon one is new..

    Hope that helps!

    Might be worth checking when the abebooks one was printed, I have a copy from 1982, and it was in its 8th run then. A more modern version should cover current technology better.

    Says 1979, but I was recommended this book for its explanation on the fundamentals of photography which could be applied to nearly any camera.

    But i will look to see if there is a newer version
