Backstage Handbook
I see a bunch of people talking about this book, Backstage Handbook, but I can not find it! Does anyone know where I can pick up a copy?
Thanks!

Re: Backstage Handbook
Order it online
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/se...rocess=default Or if that link expires just search for it on Amazon, as much as I hate to advertise for them. My local favorite www.powellsbooks.com is currently out of stock.

Re: Backstage Handbook
The backstage handbook is an excellent resource for alot of tech stuff. Mostly the math, which it's really nice to have around for.
I'd check PLSN bookshelf first thought, as gafftaper mentioned, but Amazon, sadly, usually has the lowest price.

Re: Backstage Handbook
After dinner I'm going to order it from PLSN, and the new price there is the same as the new price on Amazon.

Re: Backstage Handbook
I was really disappointed when I first got my backstage handbook. I expected the secrets of the universe to be revealed. And reading through it instead I just went ok well I guess that's useful. However in the 15 years since then I can't begin to tell you how many times I've gone back to it. Whatever you need to know... It's in there.

Re: Backstage Handbook
310 pages
That message was too short to post (under 10 characters) so I'll ad this pointless sentence and post it again.

Re: Backstage Handbook
I just got the book and opened it up. I was very impressed by the content and all of the nice sketches. I would reccomend this book to everyone who reads the post.

Re: Backstage Handbook
Don't forget to stay on your toes for the hidden humor in this book. You never know when you'll see something silly. For example: "Lock washer, flat washer, fender washer, clothes washer"....ah, trust me, you'll laugh when you see it.
