This is a good, clear, no-nonsense book that assumes the reader has some existing knowledge of lighting techniques and advises on how to adapt to a smaller stage and budget. Hand-drawn diagrams and sketches helpful but sometimes a little too detailed for the technicial novice. No glossary. Absolute beginners might like to try Light on the subject by David Hays instead
If you have a shoestring theater budget or your only source for equipment is from the local hardware store this book is useful. Interesting concept on lighting an event/stage with only two seperate 20amp (standard household) curcuits and NO LEDs. BTW James Hull Miller wrote several books on theater and all are very similar and even use the same drawings in many cases
