Hey, definately get this book:

"Behind the Seen" - by Walter Murch

He's the guy who edited Apocolypse Now, and Cold Mountain on FCP to name a few. The book has immense detail about his editing experience, and even emails and notes from his Cold Mountain experience. I just got it, and I'm amazed at the readability and also the technical stuff. It's great!

Thanks for the notice Murph!

Murch also wrote a book himself on editing (which is a great read):
