VI. BOOKS AND PAPERS
This collection is in its rough
formative stages; it is intended one
day to incorporate much of the less
common, but useful printed material in
stage lighting and related fields. A
somewhat more wide-ranging bibliography
is being prepared in conjunction with
the collection. Entries marked with an
asterick (*) are shelved, all others
are filed.
