The Hunter and Fuqua book is actually about studio lighting for 
photographers. They explain it from an interesting point of view, and 
make it very easy to understand how to use lights and control 
reflections while capturing an image. It's certainly worth reading if 
you are interested in learning how things work.

If you are a straight up print maker, it might help you understand your 
photographer and art reproduction customers better because it explains 
what they go though to capture well lit images of 3d and 2d objects. The 
book is about the front end image capture though, not about processing 
or printing the captured image.
