[SML] Stage Lighting Books in the Emergency Internet Library

[Gordon Nimmo-Smith]

At the risk of giving away my origins, over in the UK the “must-read” book is the Stage Lighting Handbook by Francis Reid.  Now in its 6th Edition, or at least that’s the copy I have. Earlier editions are also available in that library, which give a neat idea of the evolution of lighting tech over the years.

The National Emergency Library is so cool!  Indeed they do have Jean Rosenthal's book, and McCandless... and look at what other gem I found:

Dr. Hall's 1986 dissertation!  :) Cool seeing an SML alumn's work here.

I am surprised that no one has recommended Stanley McCandless’ A Method of Lighting The Stage. One of my favorite lighting books. ( I bought the 1939 2nd edition for .25 cents).
