Summary: Long on History, short on "How To" knowledge
Review: The book had a long review of the historical and artistical developments related to the pinhole camera. I was hoping that it would have more information on building a camera and solving many of the problems that pinhole photographers struggle with, such as changing the film. I wanted more ideas or different plans for building your own camera, not just pictures of cameras that others had built. There is a nice chapter on zone plates.
