Summary: Great book
Review: I bought this book because I heard it was "the bible" for actors. I read it and what do ya know, it was pretty darn good. Lots of info and stuff you need as an actor. Resume tips, unions, audition prep, the works. But really, all you need to know is to get a good agent. And if you have a great look and you are Caucasian, your chances are looking better than ever. That's it, this is the secret. No need to spend days reading this [junk].

depending on where you are in your career.

Summary: a good start
Review: I read this book when I first decided to risk a career in acting several years ago. It was very helpful in that it covered all the basics (and not-so-basics) that I would need to learn: terminology, career steps, pitfalls, different industries and cities. I still occasionally refer to it. Yes, it is a little outdated now, and I would imagine it's more useful to those in LA or NYC with its heavy focus on TV and film, but I appreciated the little section on acting in Chicago. All in all, its breadth makes it a good investment. FYI, for Chicago actors (bless your hearts), be sure to pick up "The Book," published by the trade paper PerformInk. A great (and necessary) resource guide to acting in Chicago.
