Anchell. Hi! I have both books, and they differ enough for you to have both if you really get into this stuff. I have used them quite a bit for reference texts in classes. You won't see many chemical structures or talk of electrons going from one place to another ( that's good for a start!) - you can always go Hard Core later on ;-) , in so much as the Kodak Texts are concerned - or real Electrochemistry textbooks that stray very far from the topic of photography. Then, I'd suggest an actual chemistry class 9I recall you asking 'HOW all this takes place' and there you'd find those answers have you the desire. "the Book of Pyro" by Gordon Hutchings is also complete. Pyrogalic acid based developers do some mighty strange things that can be fun to read about. All this, by the way, helps one understand why film and digital are all so different, and that effects that can be obtained chemical - wise may not be digital - wise. It's fun stuff if you are a chemistry nut as I am :-) Good reading!
