The theories of an editor about the importance of capturing the attention of the other and taking possession of their blinking

The book is at it's strongest when he talks about editing as a technical and philosophical aspect. He brings a somewhat novel way of looking at the cut through eye blinking, giving nice and welcomed advice here and there.
Sadly half of the book hasn't aged well. Though I find it amusing to see his analogue mindset set against the digital age, I think most of his thoughts on the new technologies are already innate by those who dabble themselves in editing ; erecting a list of advantages of digital non linear editing has no value today.
All in all, a nice excerpt of an editor's philosophical views on editing.
