Siegfried, while I don't have your specific book, I have several shelves that include most of the others mentioned so far. All of Ansel Adams technical writings and several of his photography books. Quite a few of the 1950s era - e.g. Focal Encyclopedia of Photography, the Leica manual, etc.
Much of mankind's knowledge is 'locked up' in books - reading is the 'key'.
Funny thing is, when you suggest that someone read a book, even a specific book, you are branded as being "elitist" and "not helpful", especially in the Beginner's Forum.

Same thing is happening in our schools here. The education union considers the expectation that teachers can read, write, spell and do arithmetic to be a harsh imposition. Teachers who cannot spell see nothing wrong when a child cannot spell.
They have just discovered here that 35% of middle school pupils are "functionally illiterate".
My wife took early retirement from teaching as being rigorous was at odds with what the parents and school governance expected from the staff. High marks regardless of ability are what parents want and unfortunately the authorities are eager to please.
Don't start me on journalists! They appear to want total freedom to write whatever they like (often badly) , with no attached responsibility or liability at law ...

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
