This book is an excellent and comprehensive first effort at defining how to manage live events safely and efficiently. Produced by the Event Safety Alliance, it will doubtless undergo many revisions and additions as the scope and complexity of live events evolves. I highly recommend this book for event facilities management, workers, stagehands, performers, and security personnel. It is an easy-to-read compendium of information specific to this industry containing many references, links, and regulations about live event production.

Very usefull information covering the most relevant issues when making an event, the information consideres the difference you will have to manage in different kind of events.

Everything it should be ! Fast shipping !

Very thorough coverage of the subject

Exactly what I was expecting
