I really enjoy restoring old photographs. Old photographs are little time machines and I consider them to be sacred objects. However, not having a good printer means they can only exist on the web which isn't nearly as satisfying as making a new print of an old photograph. That will change soon with the arrival of a new printer. This book is timely.

DIGITAL RESTORATION: Start to Finish
by Ctein

In DIGITAL RESTORATION: Start to Finish, I'll teach you how to restore faded and damaged photographic prints, films and glass plates, both B&W and color. In over 110,000 words and 500 illustrations (including over 70 task-oriented "how-to's") I cover digital photo restoration from soup to nuts.

Ctein is interesting. He is a dye transfer printer. Dye transfer printers are god-like beings.
