It's unfortunate that she makes so many technical mistakes about
infrared film.  Nonetheless, not taking a look at her book would be a
mistake.  She covers a wide range of alternative processes: from
polaroid transfers, emulsion lifts, hand coloring, polarization, toning
and infrared.  Many of her examples are very beautiful, and that's what
really matters, isn't it?  Now this book is quite popular and will
probably be out in a second edition.  Why don't one of you (Roland?)
drop Theresa a letter care of her publishers and point out her
mistakes?  That way, people won't be mislead in future editions.  I'm
sure she didn't make them on purpose.

Regards,
Pete
