Summary: Book Review
Review: "The Hollywood Creative Directory is a mainstay in the entertainment business. So authoritative is this directory, that in 1992 when the Internal Revenue Service was investigating tax abuse in the entertainment industry, they purchased a copy to use as a guide for their operations."

Summary: FROM LIBRARY JOURNAL
Review: Now in its 51st edition, the Hollywood Creative Directory certainly lives up to its rubric as the "phone book to Hollywood." (Another fitting slogan might be "everything you always wanted to know about contacting everyone you always wanted to know.") The main section lists film and television companies throughout the United States, including street and email addresses, phone and FAX numbers, and the names of top executives. It also provides recent credits for each company, as well as projects that are in pre-production and development. Another section gives similar information, with expanded staff data, for many network television shows and those of a few other channels like HBO and the Cartoon Network. Data are also provided for all the state film commissions and for agencies from Actor's Equity to the Writer's Guild. It is updated three times a year.
Although essential to those in the entertainment industry, the Hollywood Creative Directory will be useful to other readers as well. --Library Journal, 2004
