Review:

Accessibly written for the practicing photographer, this should be required reading for all working or merely seeking pleasure in photography -- Alpha Newsletter

It is a classic in the field and belongs in the library of every school, university, film lab and photographer. If you buy and read only one new book this year, make it this one -- ASMP, NorCal

Shaw and Rossol's well-organized compendium of explanations and precautions for photographic workers is outstanding in the way that the material is organized and cross-referenced. . . . Recommended for all libraries -- Choice

Susan Shaw and Monona Rossol have done a great service in writing Overexposure. This book offers a clear and concise treatment of the subject of health and safety in photography, without using a sensationalistic tone -- New Hampshire Arts

This book should be as essential as film to a photographer setting up a safety and health program. It would also be a useful tool for industrial hygienists with responsibility for photographers. . . . The information is not presented as a sermon, and it is genuinely helpful. It should be required reading for all teachers of photography -- AIHA
