This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being a Model, 2nd Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a great book for folks who are looking for basic information about the modeling industry and tips for getting a foot in the door. Having gone through some of the areas discussed in the book, it's right on the money about expectations and industry structure... Very helpful!

2.0 out of 5 stars Feels dated, December 29, 2008

D. M. Gillespie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being a Model, 2nd Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

This book may have only been published a few years ago but it feels dated. It is a good book to give a model the general idea of the modeling business, but doesn't cover as much as it could.
