Neon Techniques
Handbook of Neon Sign and Cold Cathode Lighting
4th Edition
Edited by Wane Strattman
Hey, this came in the mail yesterday! I am going to learn all that can be learned from a book about neon signs, the science behind them and how to make & repair them. It’s a bit of a dry text book so it will probably take a while to get through, but I’ll let you know the most interesting things I find out.
Follow a girl as she follows the glow in search of New York's best neon signs. Every week I'll visit another one of New York City's neon-clad establishments and post a photo & story, and tell you more about why I'm traipsing around this metropolis in the cold & dark to visit pharmacies, shoe repair stores, and bars with good neon signs to buy cough syrup, get my shoes repaired or have a drink.
