I have all three, The Camera, The Negative and The Print.

As Ian mentions, The Negative is the most important and informative one. I've read The Negative several times from cover to cover, as it goes into depth for testing and Zone System. The Camera and The Print i'll dip in and out of depending on what's rattling around in the space between my ears.

Some of the information is a little outdated as Marty says, due to Adams' materials being different to what's available to us now......especially emulsion types and thicknesses as well as chemicals.

I would suggest they are for the intermediate to experienced photographer looking to understand what goes on.
