The book discusses the early evolution of sound design and how it supports the play, from researching sources for music and effects, to negotiating a contract. It shows you how to organize the construction of the sound design elements, how the designer functions in a rehearsal, and how to set up and train an operator to run sound equipment. This instructive information is interspersed with ‘war stores’ describing real-life problems with solutions that you can apply in your own work, whether you’re a sound designer, composer, or sound operator.

Great book
I was forced to buy this for class, but it is really good and I will probably read the rest of it for fun.

Very helpful in getting inspired and organized
Very helpful book that helps you think in an organized fashion about the process of designing sound for a production. I’ve been reading it while designing a show and it has really helped focus me. A good mix of theory and anecdotes from the authors’ careers, helps keep things interesting.

Informative…but not what it seems
It is an informative book, but the last TWO-THIRDS of the book is nothing but interviews!! All the valuable, insightful material takes place in the first 164 pages which is also sprinkled with real-world experiences by the authors. These real-world anecdotes are interesting to read, but most do not further the process along – they exist more like breaks in the action. After the first 150 pages it is a verbatim transcription of interviews with industry people. The last 212 pages could have been condensed into maybe 50 pages by extracting only the pertinent information. FYI: this is not 400 pages about the Art and Technique of Design; it is nearly 150 pages of info with a final 200 pages of rhetoric. I would not have paid this kind of money for what is a glorified primer.
