Closed captioningn for "Dead" people? :)
An example of how NOT to write a book description. LOL. If you have the secret to making closed captioning available to "dead" people, I'd really love to hear it. I'm always looking to increase my clientele! This is just some kidding that I couldn't resist. I'm sure that this is a very useful and well-written book.

quite thorough
If you want to know anything about Closed Captions, this book probably has the answers. Information on the new digital standard (EIA-708) is a bit lacking, presumably because this is not really in common use yet. Other than this, however, almost anything you could want to know is in here.

The Closed Captioning Handbook
It's a great book but it's written from the perspective of the consumer not the person doing the closed captioning. So there isn't as much information in it that serves me as I thought there would be.
