American Cinematographer Manual

Through no small effort, you are holding in your hands the most complete update and revision of the ASC Manual in 30 years. The articles that do reappear have been revised and brought up to date, with the exception of one. This manual has always been highly regarded for the wealth of information it contains. It is used as a field guide for cinematographers, and as a textbook at many schools. The articles are not just for those being introduced to cinematography, however; they provide detailed analyses of different techniques that inform and refresh even the most experienced mind. - Acknowledgements.
