OK, time to bite the bullet.  I'm not an "Ansel Adams" type photographer,
more of a "zone focus and point and shoot" with a ball-park scientific
wild-assed guess at things like exposure, development, and printing times.

However, I feel that I would like to learn properly about the technical
aspects of photography.  Not that I necessarily intend to adhere to them
at all times, but I'm the kind of person who likes to know what rules I'm
breaking when.

So, can anyone recommend a good book on these subjects?  A single volume,
please, I don't want to buy the four book AA series at $25 a pop.

Also, I understand something about film exposure and development, but paper
and enlargement is still a big mystery to me.

M.
