Giorgio, You can get "The Book of Pyro" from Lotus View Camera in Austria (www.lotusviewcamera.at). I am sure they will ship to Italy with no problems. And if you are convinced they have the chemicals too! Keith Bingman Giorgio, I would also reccommend Stephen Anchell "The Darkroom Cookbook", 1994. Focal Press ISBN 0-240-80196-2. Quoted from this book: Gordon Hutchings' PMK: 1 part A, 1 part B, 100 parts water. PMK+ for speed gain: 0.5 grams amidol immediately prior to development (book does not say how much amidol per PMK volume) Solution A 750 ml water 10 g Metol 20 g Sodium bisulfite 100 g Pyrogallol (pyro) 5 g Disodium EDTA (optional) Water to make 1 liter Solution B (may take 24h to dissolve) 1400 ml water 600 g Sodium metaborate water to make 2 liters JOnathan Lee
