This is the fourth edition of the "bible" of the neon signmaking industry, first published more than 70 years ago. This book explains in complete detail the equipment and procedures required for luminous tube design, manufacture and installation. The guide includes overviews of all materials used in constructing neon signs, including recent innovations in glass, power supplies and vacuum systems, and a color photo gallery of the types of signs. It then takes the reader step by step through the entire neon signmaking process, from designing the sign and bending the glass tubes through bombarding, filling, testing, aging, assembling and installing the sign. The book concludes with chapters on flashers and animators, radio and television interference, sign maintenance, safety, and a second color photo gallery of specialty neon and lighting displays. Neon Techniques is the most current and most comprehensive book on neon signmaking ever published.

There is no neon to match Nevada’s. The combination of Wild West mythology and the remaining untamed pitch-black nighttime landscape, replete with real cowboys and real gambling, makes the Silver State a unique and appropriate canvas for neon art. Modern Nevada began with a nonstop desire for riches. It continues for many as a state of dreams often vividly expressed through exploding neon. Neon Nevada brings all this alive. Cameras in hand, authors Sheila Swan and Peter Laufer embarked on their first Nevada neon trek in the 1970s. They followed this up with a second nocturnal treasure hunt in the early 1990s—and a third in 2010, in the course of which they discovered that neon is fading fast; most notably on the Las Vegas Strip. Most of all, though, they realized that their passion for the art and craft of neon had not waned. A compelling blend of full-color photographs and absorbing prose, Neon Nevada takes us on a literal and figurative journey not only down the Las Vegas strip but also down quiet two-lane roads punctuated occasionally with neon signs, those glittering beacons of civilization against the desert night sky. The authors talk with sign owners, with those who created and maintained the neon, and those who collect it.

Neon signs turned North America's roadside into a luminous wonderland in the mid-20th century. These unforgettable depictions of exploding bowling pins, crashing cars, baton twirling majorettes, and lassoing cowboys were the fodder for legend and lore. Neon designer Len Davidson has captured their magic with over 350 photos of superb vintage signs. In the text, voices of neon sign makers, shopkeepers, photographers, and preservationists record their legends in words, while a definitive photo archive gives architects and sign artisans an invaluable resource. This volume is a treasure for all who have been captured by the spell of vintage neon.

He parties with naked crackheads.
