The Gaffer's Handbook: Film Lighting Equipment, Practice, and Electrical Distribution

Listening to a back episode of one of my favorite podcasts I learned about a fabulous author of books about the technical aspects of filmmaking.

His name is Harry Box.

While perusing the online record for his forthcoming book, Amazon.com, in all of its auto-generated wisdom, tried to help me out.

Accidental Dongs
