Though this book is from 1972 I found the information relevant. Yes, the tech is old but I think the idea if the lens needed as well as how to using writing and photography together are very relevant. Coming from both a writing and photography background i enjoyed the history of the times that is brought into this book as I was reading it years after it's intended use. If you are someone who is interested in the combination of image and text, as I am, I would definitely reccomend this book.
