3.0 out of 5 stars Extended Glossary, 23 Aug 2006
This book is a whistle-stop tour of tv technical operations terms, with no more than 2 small pages spent on any one term. Effectively it is a verbose glossary. However it does do the job of introducing a complete beginner (like me) to relevant terms.

Explanations are not always clear. The author often tries to explain things using layman's terms but in doing so only achieves vagueness and confusion.

I have found that typing insufficiently explained terms into a search engine frequently makes up for the vague shortfalls of this volume.
