I inspect each book assuring it meets my somewhat unreasonable quality standards. Printing, binding, and shipping costs have skyrocketed but I am keeping the price as low as possible.
The 1st edition, 94 pages, provides a detailed description of the current film manufacturing process at a modest price. Used copies are listed on abebooks.com for $100 to $200+! My price is $40.
The second edition, 470 pages, includes historical background and many more illustrations that were made exclusively for the book.
I have sold thousands of copies to individuals and institutions in 55 countries satisfying my personal goal of documenting how my fellow Kodak employees manufacture film.
Your payment via PayPal or money order is your order. If you provide an email address, I will confirm your order. If you do not receive your book, US customers must notify me with in two weeks and International customers with in four weeks so I can see resolve the situation. This time requirement is imposed by the shippers and PayPal.
I pay the PayPal fee. PayPal requires that I ship to the address associated with the buyer's account. PayPal allows no flexibility on this. If you want shipment to another address use PayPal's "send money to a friend" service option. In doing so you assume the shipping risk.
Rather than PayPal you can buy using US Postal Service Money Order sent to:
