1.0 out of 5 stars This book seems something thats for someone new to town, September 28, 1999

This review is from: The Working Actor's Guide, LA 1999: The Complete Resource for Performers and Other Industry Professionals (Paperback)

I needed so much more than is in this book. It has a ton of info on Restaurants, Retail Shops, LIMO SERVICES (not something I need yet at this stage of my career) I hope the next edition gives me something I need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible for anyone pursuing a career in LA, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Working Actor's Guide, LA 1999: The Complete Resource for Performers and Other Industry Professionals (Paperback)

Essentially an information guide/phone book for actors and geared towards actors, this book is indispensible. Not only gives you names, numbers and addresses of casting directors, agents, coaches, and classes, but lists discount clothing and furniture shops, banks, where to find last-minute help from dance to dialects...etc. Even if you're not an actor and simply moving to LA and don't expect to make much money in the near future, I would get this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the information I needed..., September 20, 1999

This review is from: The Working Actor's Guide, LA 1999: The Complete Resource for Performers and Other Industry Professionals (Paperback)

I am an actor new to the business in LA. Although there was a lot of information, none of which I need to further my career. Such as Agents...how do I get one? Unions..How do I join and so forth.
