Neil-- I'm glad you like my book. A new expanded edition of The Art of
Infrared Photgraphy will be out early next year from Amherst Media. It will
be more detailed, with added text and photos on infrared color photography,
hand-coloring b&w prints, & Ilford & Agfa extended red sensitive films . As
for your questions, 35mm is easier to get started with infrared. It is not
difficult to process yourself, but if you are not comfortable with it, a lab
could easily process it for you. Basic  dev. time using iso 200 ( Kodak )
with D-19 undiluted at 68oF is 6 min. D-76 undil. will also work, but negs.
will have less contrast. You can use an infrared neg. for platinum printing &
for regular paper, the choice is up to you. If however you end up with
contrasty negs. you might want to use a paper with low contrast. I prefer the
higher contrast, and print on Kodak Ektalure paper, also because it is a warm
tone paper. Hope this answers your questions. Feel free to write back if you
need  further assitance.
