<p class="MsoNormal">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 6<sup>th</sup> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
