After traveling and presenting workshops for the past three weeks, I've
spent the better part of this week-end trying to catch up on all the
TECHWR-L activity, e-mail, and "snail mail" that piled up while I was
gone. Anyway ... I noticed that there were at least a couple of requests
for info on script writing, so I'm offering the following list of books
(in no particular order -- just the way I grabbed them off my shelf) that
I found helpful when I was learning how to write A/V scripts and
multimedia tutorials:
