Summary: A little caution
Review: As someone who used to work with Ms. Appleton at Writers and Artists Agency, I have to caution aspiring talent and readers of this book that she is not the finest legal mind in Hollywood. That being said, she got the job done. Mostly.You could do worse than this book, I suppose, especially if you don't reside in New York or LA.

Review: I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL READERS INTERESTED IN THE INS AND OUT OF NEGOTIATING ANY TYPE OF DEAL, PARTICULARLY ACTOR, WRITER, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR OR RIGHTS DEALS FOR MOTION PICTURES OR TELEVISION. UNTIL NOW, THE ONLY BOOK OUT THERE WAS THE LITWAK BOOK, WHICH IS HEAVY ON FORMS, LIGHT ON CONTENT. THIS BOOK IS THE OPPOSITE! IT REALLY EXPLAINS THE ISSUES IN A WAY THAT EVEN I CAN UNDERSTAND.

Summary: Super Helpful Book on Entertainment Industry
Review: I work at a Production company and a lot of contracts we hand to outside lawyers, but this is a good tool for me because it goes into details and discusses each point in a contract. This is something I'd love to have had many years ago, when I just got started in the business, and now that I have it, I am learning a lot of new things. There isn't any other book out there- quite like this.
