What is Reddit's opinion of Theatrical Design and Production: An Introduction to Scene Design and Construction, Lighting, Sound, Costume, and Makeup?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The Backstage Handbook is the go to for most reference info. I've used this book in intro level college classes, and it might be what you are looking for if you are thinking more of a traditional text book style.

I'd add Theatrical Design & Production by J. Michael Gillette. The one I'm used to is an older edition, but it's got a pretty basic education on the tech aspects of theatre. Yay, power tools!
