Summary: The title of the book says it all.
Review: If you like to watch Roger Corman movies, this book is for you. It gives you behind the scenes info on all of his best known films; if you don't like his movies, this book is still for you- because even if you don't find his films very entertaining, I'm sure you'll find the stories about how they were made to be the funniest you've ever read. Maybe he should make a movie based on this book...

Summary: Fascinating, inspirational look inside indie film making.
Review: This book reads like one of Corman's movies plays out: fast, to the point, and when the monster's dead, the movie (or book) is over. There's not a lot of brooding, introspective material. (Mr. Corman muses some on why he never "sold out" to the majors and also why the European community has accorded him more respect, but these are fortunately brief segments.)In the meantime the reader is treated to many of the adventures Corman and his ensemble braved to make his movies, some insights on how to squeeze the most out of a small budget, and a refreshingly forthright attitude about money and movies. The book could stand an update, as Mr. C has been busy in the past decade, but it's still a worthwhile read as is.
Rating: 
Summary: Actually....
Review: When you read the book you'll find that he states on more than one occasion that a film he produced lost money. I guess it was more than a dime, so he ain't lying.
