This book is crap
Just a listing of companies with little in the way of guidelines or actual names of people at the companies. The positive reviews below are obviously either the author himself or friends of the author.They are all written in the same 'breezy' 'informative' style that most reviews on Amazon do not contain. They are also the same length and tone. Also check out the dates- all written the same week (2 each on both separate days). These fake reviews are easy to spot.
I especially like "Mr. And Wouldn't you know I found an agent" - yeah right. A scant three months after publication of this useless book someone finds an agent from it? I don't think so. Save your money and buy Skip Press's book instead.

Not worth your money
If you buy this book on speculation that it might help you, you're probably wrong. Not to say that some have been helped by it, but most of you (I presume) will be sorely displeased. Of the hundreds of listings, there are less than five that include contact names. And do you know what that means? That means if you send your query to these studios it'll probably end up in the trash., or at least take several months to get into the right hands, if ever. There are better works in the world.

Not much help
This book did not live up to its hype. It parades as a helpful guide for screenwriters looking for an agent or management company. In fact, it's a giant list of names and addresses, with occasional one-line explanations of whether the agency is looking for new material or not, and even rarer one-line notations on what kind of material they're looking for. There's no table of contents, no index, almost no help at all for a screenwriter trying to match his or her work with an agency. It's a compilation of names, not a guide.
