I was really impressed with this book and how it took an average photographer through the steps towards understanding exposure. There are many fundamental concepts explained in a "layman's fashion" and I would highly recommend this book. There is only one chapter that enters into deep theory which the author suggests you may want to skip or come back to later. If you want to increase your basic understanding of film exposure, natural light and how film development plays an important part, then this book is for you!
Perfect for my needs

This is exactly the kind of photo book I've been looking for: lots of technical information on film characteristics, theory of density, printing, how lighting and filters affect exposure, technical details on the various kinds of light meters and what they're good for, etc., etc., etc. All too many photo books of this form factor are pablum. This book really gets into the guts of film exposure and all of the factors that affect it. If you want to go beyond the basics in understanding how film is exposed and such things as the difference in characteristics between slide and negative film, this is a great book.
