It was published by Fountain Press London in 1958 so I would guess you =
would
need to query English book sellers. The 2 volumes are extraordinary.

   I think you are way ahead of me for practical reversal=20
processing. Also, I've been looking for a copy of the=20
english language edition of Glafkides for years now, it=20
seems to be quite rare.
   I found recent formulas for reversal processing in one of=20
the Kodak manuals for motion picture processing H2415. This=20
is available on-line from the Kodak site, it is Module 15 of=20
a publication _Processing Kodak Motion Picture Films_  The=20
various sloutions are for machine processing of motion=20
picture stock but might be useful as indicating the=20
approach. The process described still uses a re-exposure to=20
strong light to fog the film. Kodak's color processes seem=20
to use a borain but the chemistry is beyond me. I think the=20
formulas for processing color motion picture film are also=20
on line from Kodak or perhaps the MSDS for the E-6 chemistry=20
would have a hint. I think chemical fogging is used for=20
these processes.
   Again, I find it odd that there seems to be so little=20
literature covering reversal processing of B&W film despite=20
its wide use for perhaps 40 years.
   I am not a chemist. There is one I can write to and=20
perhaps get a better answer. I will try that.
