JSE said Excellent Handbook. A very complete and well-organized guide to contemporary stage lighting practices. Lots of forms and particulars for both experienced and less experienced members of the craft.. "Every lighting designer should have this" according to JJ. This is a beautiful book on stage lighting. It'd clear, concise, and at least for me showed a systematic way to light for the stage.I learned a lot from it, and learned somethings that I knew but didn't know why.. "Must Have!" according to bpojito105. If you are learning lighting design, then you need this book. It's a no-nonsense and very detailed how-to. I use it more as a handbook than anything else.
