It has the great advantage of being written from a British prospective as UK and US lighting terminology and equipment differ greatly. It is also includes modern technology such as "intelligent" fixtures.
The best lighting design book I had read before this one was "The Stage Lighting Handbook" by Francis Reid but this book actually contains the best part of Reid's book namely building up a lighting design starting with just one instrument. By reading this book you get the benefit of both Reid's and Fraser's ideas.
The book ends with several of the author's actual designs with explanations of his design choices and the placement of every fixture. I heartily recomend it.
Sections are concise and maintain your interest with the use of innovative exercise suggestions and links to real life situations from Neil's own career. This is a valuable commodidty in a book of this kind, where it is easy to become bogged down in essential but unexciting theory - the book covers all the essentials in an easy to digest fashion as well as expanding on them to support their relvance to the career.
It will shortly be followed by its partner book on Lighting Theory in order to complete the knowledge base required to begin lighting theatre.
