 Could be better September 23, 2008

This book , I beleive is the sixth edition, and it is out of date to todays highly intelligent systems. "Stage lighting handbook" is good for those who just started theatre stage work, but it does not apply to rock concert settings. It is well written, very basic style of writing, does not touch on the technical side of using DMX consoles or applications.

If all you want to know is about design, this is the book for you. Other then that it is useless. No information on practical set up of lighting plots. The Shelly book is much better.
 Stage Lighting Book Very Illuminating! January 12, 2007
This is a fabulous stage lighting book - not TOO basic for experienced lighting people, not too hard for beginners. I particularly like that there are chapters such as "Lighting the Musical" and "Lighting the Play", etc, as different shows have different lighting needs - but it is not always addressed in lighting books. I highly recommend this book for lighting students or people who just need to know more about lighting to have better communicate with their lighting designers.

This book does a wonderful job of presenting the reader with a whole bunch of basic concepts and then rpidly builds on them. For any new light designer, or even experienced ones that want to try something new and different, this is the book for you. It really gets the wheels turning and the creative juices flowing.

This book is a good overview of lighting design and lighting tech. The writing is frank and honest, the information is well-organized. I use it frequesntly as a designer to remind myself of things I might otherwise forget from time to time, or to get new ideas for how to light for this style. It is just an overview, and while it is highly practical, I would hardly call it comprehensive. Chapter titles include: Aims in Lighting, Lighting Instruments, First Steps in Lgihting Design, Color, The Lighting Design Process, Lighting Opera, lighting Thrust Stages, Agenda for a Post-Mortem, Projection and Effects, and Light Education. This book is sort of like a letter from one experienced lighting designer to a fresh-faced lighting designer, unlike many stagecraft books. It does have the UK slant, as another reviewer mentioned, but that shouldn't be a great hindrance. If you have 10 books about lighting design, this should be one of them.
