Darkroom User Magazine
1. "I think one DU is equal to about four conventional pop photo type
magazines in breadth and depth of content alone - not to mention quality."
Bill Bascom (Author of 'Exposure & Development... for the Mathematically
and Scientifically Disinclined') - Missouri.
2. "It is a magazine that every darkroom printer should receive regardless
of experience!"
Daniel Smith - California.
3. "I feel I need to support almost anyone that, in these days of mediocrity,
can attract Ctein and John Sexton."
Richard Canon - New Mexico.
4. "I group your publication together with (the US publications) View
Camera and Photo Techniques. All three are beautifully well done and contain
a wealth of information."
Bruce Pottorff - California.
5. "Yesterday the postal service delivered my first issue of Darkroom
User exactly seven days after the date on my check... that's seven days
including two trans-Atlantic postal trips. That's service by any standard...
U.S. publishers take note!"
Kenneth H Folse - Maryland.
