The Eye Is Quicker

A how-to guide by Richard D. Pepperman turns film editing theory into practical working techniques that apply whatever tools or technology an editor of film or video uses. He draws on dozens of sequences from a wide range of films to show how editing improves a good film, and identifies what stays constant in strong work. It appeared in 2004.

Musician and filmmaker Andi Dumitrescu listed it in an interview among the books that helped him in each part of his career, which includes film editing.
