That's a nice collection Grog... I would add another classic text book to the list: "Designing with Light" by J. Michael Gilette

Newly added to my collection:
"Automated Lighting" by Richard Cadena... surprisingly this book breaks the automated light down into subsystems and spends more than half the book on things like lamps, electricity, motors, optics, reflectors... all really good stuff that applies to all lights, not just the automated ones. A book for those who like to tear stuff apart and figure out how it works.

"Practical DMX" by Nick Mobsby... I've talked about how great this book is in far too many threads. Easy to read and fun... it takes the mystery out of control systems.

"Lighting Techniques For Theatre-in-the-round" by Jackie Staines... just got it haven't started reading yet.
