    The books commonly known as the "Hove Magic Lantern Guides", originally published by Hove Publishing, and later by Lark Publishing, are generally regarded as the best of the "after-market" books on operating photographic equipment. The series does not include every piece of photographic equipment known to mankind, and the books go out of print as new and updated equipment is introduced. We do not specifically stock the currently published Magic Lantern Guides but have an eclectic assortment of the older, generally out of print, editions. Many users prefer these publications even over the official instruction manuals that accompanied the products.
