Rating: Summary: Everyone you'd ever want to reach probably won't be listed Review: I don't know why I keep buying these books. Now and then a letter might not comeback "address unknown".
Rating: Summary: successful autograph collectingf Review: I have Mr. Levine's Address book's 8th and 9th edition and I just last week bought his new revised and updated one The 8th edition has a red cover the 9th edition has a white cover and his newest one has a dark green cover. I use all three books to obtain my autographs by mail and in over two years I have collected over seven hundred autographs. Mr.Levine should be congratulated on a very fine and informative book. I would reccomend this book to anyone who is thinking about starting a hobby of collecting autographs. In just two words "It Works" I hope his next one will be even bigger. Thanks Michael for a great book.
Rating: Summary: Additional Comment Re: Michael Levine's Address Book Review: I was quite surprised to note Douglas Adams's e-mail address in the version featured above. Mr. Adams died unexpectedly in 2001 at the age of 49. If anybody receives a response from him, I'd be curious to know.
Rating: Summary: Attn: Erin From Brentwood Review: Oh, come now. I think you are letting your negative feelings for the author get in the way of an otherwise decent book. I think the real problem with the book is the everchanging addresses of celebrities. Writing to stars is a gamble and you should just consider yourself lucky if you get a response. Perhaps you could have explained to Levine that you would have been amused were he to have been abducted by a team of abnormally large men who would then violate him in an alley. After quite literally being given a second hole and worn out from being so viciously buttraped, alley cats would proceed to defecate in his now festering wound. The gangrenous cavity would later be dug out by a team of incompetent surgeons leaving him a euneched manhood. By being amused with such a turn of events, your indifference to his temperament would easily be explained. In closing, it is hard to believe that a publicist that whose only real accomplishment is representing a couple of has-beens-that-never-really-were like Tawni Kitaen and Corey Feldman would know how to reach anybody important.
Rating: Summary: A must for event and fundraising promoters! Review: This book is one of my greatest resources as a fundraiser for charitable organizations. I have been able to access many celebrities to assist with donations, and actionable items with the Address Book. I get the updated book every time it comes out.
Rating: Summary: Better Ways To Write To Stars Review: This book is pretty useless, which I don't really feel is the author's fault. Celebrities probably change contact info all the time and it's impossible to keep up. I am an autograph collector and I have found the best way to get autographs (most specifically for celebrities) is to find the address of the network their TV show is on and write to them in care of the network. I have probably gotten responses on 90% of the letters I have sent. I think that would be much more effective than buying this book and getting most of your letters returned due to wrong addresses.
Rating: Summary: One way to find addresses of famous people Review: This book lists many addresses of famous people. It doesn't list every one. It is a good resource book. We would like to see e-mail addresses in the future.
Rating: Summary: Answer To Below Review Review: To address the review regarding Douglas Adams' email address, the answer is simple: Michael Levine puts about as much thought into his books as he does trying to gain publicity for his clients: NONE! Believe me, Levine doesn't know how to get in touch with any celebrities--he hasn't represented one since he split from another PR company and formed his own. Don't waste any money on this book. If you want to contact a celebrity, just do a little research online and you can find out what company represents them, and send your mail through them. That will help you to avoid getting back a bunch of letters marked RETURN TO SENDER that you will get if you use the addresses in Levine's lame book.
