Book for techies - maintaining your portfolio

I just came across this book on Amazon and thought crew and designers out there might be interested in it. It's 'Developing and Maintaining a Design-Tech Portfolio: A Guide for Theatre, Film & TV' by Rafael Jaen. It sounds interesting, and it's about $25 US, so it's not a bad price. I'm tempted to get a copy myself.

It sounds interesting Na! I picked up a book by shear accident, many years ago! It was at an obscure little book shop in a country town. Luckily I paid for it before I left the shop, as there was still 300 or so 'Shop lifting' days left to Christmas! It was a book on lighting states by Micheal J Gillette. It is well illustrated with plenty of coloured pictures, which is a bonus for me, making it easier to read. I even think I look intelligent, while reading the pictures! I'm old fashioned & still find it easier to refer to books, than the Net.

Same here. Over the past year or so I must have bought about 20-30 different books on puppetry and other theatre topics. I really do have to stop though - it can be so expensive. Especially puppetry books, because most of the good ones are out of print. My most expensive buy was a really rare puppetry text for about $200 - and I almost lost it to some dumb people who decided to break into my PO box! Fun puppet patterns to make at home!
