The first and second edition are ready to ship. See the cost below. The printing cost increased again but I will not be increasing the selling price.
Your payment via PayPal or money order is your order. If you provide an email address, I will confirm your order and provide the shipping tracking number. If you do not receive your paid for book, US customers must notify me within two weeks of ordering and international customers within four weeks so I can resolve the situation. This time requirement is imposed by the shippers and PayPal. Everyone who paid for a book has received their book. I have successfully shipped books to 55 countries.
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 this case you assume the shipping risk since you are responsible for the accuracy of the address.
Rather than PayPal you can pay using US Postal Service Money Order payable to and sent to:
Robert L. Shanebrook
439 Avondale Road
Rochester, NY 14622-1903
USA
I will ship within two business days after payment is received.

1st Edition Export: for international shipping please send me your address and I will provide a shipping quote. I use reliable, competitively priced shipping. USPS and UPS require your telephone number. If there is an issue in your country, they will phone you to resolve the problem. Using the phone number expedites delivery.
The book's international customs code is HS490199. Based on this code your country determines if a tariff or customs fee is charged. Any customs or tariffs are the buyer's responsibility.
The 2nd edition is for the serious film archivist, photographer, cinematographer, radiographer, graphic artist, scientist, engineer, etc. who wants to understand the silver halide technology. It provides history and a description of products for a wide range of photographic applications including consumer photography and motion picture. It is 470 pages and weighs 5 pounds. Shipping weight is 6 pounds. It is a hefty book. The selling price is $250, the same as the previous printing. I will absorb the increased printing cost. The used price on abe.com and biblo.com is $299.99.
2nd edition US shipping to Zip codes less than 70000 is $15, greater than 70000 $18. So the total is $265 or $268.
2nd Edition export shipping: Please send me your address and phone number and I will provide the exact cost for shipping. I get a discounted price I pass on buyers. For most countries I use United Parcel Service's Expidited Service. UPS is reliable and delivery is usually within 7 days. Your phone number will be on the address label in case the delivery person has a problem. This has proven to aid successful delivery. I will not call you.
The export price for 2nd edition is $250 plus the actual discounted shipping price.
