A patent on diffraction grating use? Need help!

[polishedball]

Anyone have an ISBN# for Laser F/X: The Light Show Handbook ? anyone know of a source for it?

I'd also be interested in the patent troll as to avoid future business with them.

I am not sure if the author ever got an ISBN for the book in later printings, the first printed edition did not.

There is no source for the book any longer and has not been in print for about a decade despite its wealth of information. Some people were even quite upset at the author for revealing how a lot of "magic" is done. The books were printed on demand and bound at a small shop in Burlington,Ontario. You might want to contact http://www.laserfx.com/InfoServices/InfoServices3.html and see if he has any more, but I highly doubt there are any for sale.

You might luck out, but I don't think any of us that actually own a copy would ever let it out of our hands. Mine was signed by the author, and I personally fed the paper into the laser printer, helped carry boxes of printed books into the local binding shop with him and then when I got home the cover got chewed on by a parrot with a talent for escaping its cage. Others may have similar stories of attachment to their copies.

he should make an ebook copy available... I would pay for something like that

I seam to remember having it as a PDF a very long time ago.

I used to own a copy of the book, but following L Micheal Roberts’ fall from grace, being charged for interfering with underage boys, ‘enticing them with laser technology’ as the Police put it, just having the book on my shelf made my stomach turn.

if you're interested in no longer owning it, i'd be happy to take it off your hands.

Sorry, I no longer have the book.

Each to their own, but as I indicated in my post, I didn't feel comfortable having a book written by someone that according to Police used laser show technology as an aid to groom minors for sexual abuse.

Guess whom was arrested, but never charged, nor convicted...
