The original question was about copying images printed in a book, not
original photos. The issues addressed here do not, in my experience,
arise in copying half tones from books to slides.

I have found that contrast usually builds up in copying. I copied some
valuable photographs to film years ago using Panatomic-X film. I found
a yellow filter to be useful since there were some fixer strains on the
prints. I bracketed exposures, used minimum-exposure black techniques
to print the contact sheet and printed the best neg to a very soft paper
(#1 I believe). Only one negative and a soft paper gave me the
combination of contrast and grainless smoothness that matched the
original print.

i think the only problem with color slides is that the range is too short for some B+W photographs.
