5.0 out of 5 stars At last, a comprehensive guide!, August 3, 1999
By A Customer
Pay no attention to that last reviewer... I'm not exactly sure what he thought he was buying. Buy this book for one purpose alone - to serve as a comprehensive reference tool. If you're a serious fan of X-rated movies, particularly a collector, this is just the book you need. Whenever you want to know exactly how many films a starlet made, and exactly what the titles are, you just flip this open and there's all the relevant info, indexed by the actress (or actor, but why you'd want that is beyond me). Kudos to Patrick Riley!! (Don't look to this book for details of what each actress DOES in each movie - he has another book for that, which I plan to get when I find it.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best reference of it's type available, November 10, 2000
It's a reference book folks, not something you curl up with to read on a rainy afternoon.

Given the huge problems with indexing actors who seem to change names (or spellings) with each video, and videos that seem to change what scenes are included with each reprint or edition.... it's an amazing reference, nothing online or in print comes close!

If you want to know what videos your favorites are in, this is your best resource.

Is it perfect? No, in particular, there is no reverse reference, so you can find movies by actor, but not actors by movie. The number of pictures and descriptions is extremely limited making it often difficult to attach a name to a face.

Then there is the problem of what do you do with an X-rated industry where anyone with a video camera can shoot their own video... there is so much out there, so much that is not in any kind of traditional distribution.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ugh! Phooey! Yuk! (Get the message?), January 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The X-Rated Videotape Star Index (No. 1) (Paperback)
I sure wish I could get my money back. I bought this book about 18 months ago at a bookstore and after a few months I wished I could take it back, but they had gone out of business ( hope this doesn't happen to you Amazon) :-) . This guy Riley doesn't have much taste or imagination. Don't waste your money.
