Although I'm only 100 pages into it, I think that "Nonlinear Editing-Storytelling, Aesthetics, and Craft" by Bryce Button is shaping up to be a must read book.
Mr. Button provides a lot of level-headed wisdom and good advice that anyone in this forum could benefit from, including the developement team in Madison.
The book is published by CMP books and can be found at the DV magazine website.
