We have an agreement to reprint the Focal Press Camera Guides published from the 1950s to the 1980s. These went much deeper than the normal user’s handbook that came with the camera and are concise camera guides and photography handbooks rolled into one. Each guide covers all the models of a particular camera up to the date of publication. They have long been out of print and are sought after. We have a number in course of preparation. The first batch is listed below. Others will follow as soon as they are ready. All the guides have been remastered from the original pocket-book size to A4 and are bound in wipe-clean soft covers. The number of pages varies with different cameras, usually around 75 to 85 (except for the Rolleiflex guide which is 114 pages), but they are all the same price, £7.95 post free to anywhere in the world.

As far as we know, we are the only company to which Focal Press has given permission to reprint these Camera Guides. Please beware of poorly photocopied so-called reprints.

All our books are POST FREE TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. We do not charge extra for PayPal, and no other charges will be added on checkout. The price of the book is all you pay.

We prefer payment by PayPal but will also accept UK Postal Orders, Banker's Cheques and Personal Cheques in pounds sterling (GBP) drawn on a UK bank. ALL POSTAL ORDERS, BANKER'S CHEQUES AND PERSONAL CHEQUES MUST BE MADE PAYABLE TO PETER WALLAGE. If you want to order by post and pay by cheque or postal order do NOT click 'Add to Cart'. Please click   HERE  for a postal order form. We regret we cannot accept credit cards direct.

UK orders are sent First Class post inside the UK. Overseas orders by airmail. Despatch is normally within 2-5 working days of receipt of order.

You will see from this page heading that Wallage Reprints is now the Wallage Reprints Division of Peter Wallage. This is because the previously three separate entities, Wallage Reprints, Wallage Books and Wallage Picture Library have been merged under the umbrella name of Peter Wallage to simplify administration and accounting.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL CHEQUES AND POSTAL ORDERS MUST NOW BE MADE PAYABLE TO PETER WALLAGE
