User`s manual

A variety of filmmaking textbooks and periodicals are now
available, and in the near future we expect several more that
will specialize in Super 8. Publications from Super8 Sound are
very equipment-oriented; they tend to be "what-with" books
rather than "how-to" books. Filmmakers, and beginning
Super 8 filmmakers especially, should own a number of good
texts and reference books, and regularly subscribe to film-
making journals. The best way to learn filmmaking is to ap-
prentice yourself to a craftsman; if you don't know one, buy
these books and the equipment and become a craftsman
yourself.

LIPTON?
The Super 8 Book, by Lenny Lipton
Lipton has boiled down his wisdom into half the length of
his 16mm book, and concentrated on the new tools that make
professional Super 8 production a possibility. His newfound
addiction to the single-system camera and 18fps shows, but
he teaches you double-system editing, too. Lots of illustra-
tions. Straight Arrow Books.
