1.0 out of 5 stars Answer To Below Review, March 31, 2004

By 

Erin (Brentwood) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Address Book: How to Reach anyone who is anyone (Address Book, 10th ed) (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Better Ways To Write To Stars, February 5, 2004

This review is from: The Address Book: How to Reach anyone who is anyone (Address Book, 10th ed) (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars good BUT!, February 15, 2000

By 

rob poto (PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Address Book (9th ed) (Paperback)

good book but i have already found many addresses that are incorrect or have just changed. Author states that the book INCLUDES hundreds of E-mail addresses but has forgotten his own! You can write him with new addresses but it would be nice for him to update the new addresses online for those who purchased his book.
