This book has a plethora of interesting interviews: probably the best way to flesh out all the ideas about VJing and what other people are doing.

I dreamt that I gave a great party, but I don't think I could afford the toys in real life.

[Greyscale · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dull book design, but some very original and interesting interviews.
