S.D. Katz, millimeter magazine, February 2003<br> Topics are not shortchanged... The chapter on dialogue editing alone is worth the price of the book. <br>Michael Pastore, Epublishers Weekly<br> The book's audio CD ... is a valuable collection of sounds and tutorials that are expertly coordinated with the book's text.
