[SOLD] Rare Classic Photography Book

Successful Photography - Canon World of Photography

This great book is almost impossible to find. I did several searches online and never could locate it. Probably given with a Canon camera back in the days when this was done. Printed in Canada just before the digital camera age.
Covers just about everything you wanted to know about photography, whether film or digital. The title tells it all.
Book in excellent shape.
144 pages of helpful text plus breath taking photos.
