This book is a valuable summary of film industry practices in Hollywood. It provides good detail based on industry information that is relatively current. More importantly, it provides an excellent reference for scholars who want to include Hollywood in broader media studies and have no one good source to go to on how Hollywood works. It includes several appendices, an excellent bibliography (plus references at the end of each chapter), and a solid index. -- Emile McAnany * A Quartely Review of Communication Research *
