Is there a telephone number or web site? Thanks in advance! Concerning Adams's books, I have all 3 and recently re-read them. I do not think they are dated and I doubt that he would need to revise much. They have been re-issued in paperback recently and are in my view a must for everyone serious about photography (especially B&W).
