Summary: just starting out
Review: For those who are just entering the industry, I recommend this book. I have been in the industry for approx. 2 years now. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know, except maybe the salaries of various job titles. New to the Industry? Buy it! Been in the Industry for a while? Never mind!

Review: if you're a person who's just starting out (24 years old) and really interested in breaking into the entertainment industry (on the biz side of things), then this guide is something you'll want to pick up. my college advisor suggested i look into it, and i did. i've since moved to LA and looked up all of the alums connected to the industry and now have an internship at a big music label. this guide gave me the big picture, got me in the right frame of mind to figure out whether it was movies or music that i wanted to focus on (since i love both on a personal level!) ... i'm still open to moving into film, but for now, i'm happy where i am. thanks to wetfeet for getting me grounded and off to a good start.

Summary: Nice General Overview
Review: This guide was helpful in getting a general picture of what behing-the-scenes careers can be had in entertainment. It covers television, music, and the movie industry, so it was really helpful in my decision as to just where in the entertainment industry I want to be. Note that this is not a guide for breaking into the industry as a performer. But for those of you who think you might want to run the show instead, I highly recommend it.
