Summary: Complete, but....
Comment: This book is complete, but the illustrations are rather hokey. Some of the sections get bogged down in unnecessary detail, and other leave stuff out. This is obviously something that was written a while ago, and partially updated without going through the trouble of making the illustrations better.
At the same time I bought this book, I also bought The Live Sound Manual: Getting Great Sound at Every Gig but Ben Duncan, #0879306998. This was a much more readable book, although lacking in illustrations, and geared slightly more to the professional. The only thing in Live Sound Reinforcement that wasn't in The Live Sound manual that I found useful was the one page on 'ringing out the room' to address feedback before it happens.
Both books gave good step-by-step instructions for setup and good explanations of theory, but the latter just did a better job.

Summary: The title says it all
Comment: I am not a very technical oriented person but this books talks to you in plain english not "techie" like most books do. It also doen't assume you know everything so it starts off at the beginnig basics of sound and it builds from there to more complex ideas and concepts. If you have never run live sound or run sound at chuch or for a band this is the book for you. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: This book gives you everything from basic to complex
Comment: This book is great for anyone interested in sound reinforcement, or sound in general. Stark starts off with the basics of sound, then covers microphones, smaller scale PA systems, then concert touring systems. His language is easy to understand, and his book provides information on all aspects of live sound, from miking to processing. The use of diagrams are very helpful, and he breaks the book into sections which make it easy to use as a reference guide. However, this book is not for the professional, or someone who is very knowledgable about sound or sound reinforcement. I would recomend this to a beginner or an intermediate level sound person who wants to learn more about how to reinforce sound. In short, if you have taken courses on sound, or are very knowledgable this book isnt for you, but if you want know how to wire a full concert PA system will all the works, this book is for you... He starts you off slow, and dives in.
