This directory is the most comprehensive listing of persons and titles at almost every production company there is... I believe it is the only database of its kind. Everyone from mega-producers to full-time interns are listed, as well as their phones, faxes and addresses. An invaluable resource.

"The Hollywood Creative Directory is a mainstay in the entertainment business. So authoritative is this directory, that in 1992 when the Internal Revenue Service was investigating tax abuse in the entertainment industry, they purchased a copy to use as a guide for their operations."

Now in its 51st edition, the Hollywood Creative Directory certainly lives up to its rubric as the "phone book to Hollywood." (Another fitting slogan might be "everything you always wanted to know about contacting everyone you always wanted to know.") The main section lists film and television companies throughout the United States, including street and email addresses, phone and FAX numbers, and the names of top executives. It also provides recent credits for each company, as well as projects that are in pre-production and development. Another section gives similar information, with expanded staff data, for many network television shows and those of a few other channels like HBO and the Cartoon Network. Data are also provided for all the state film commissions and for agencies from Actor's Equity to the Writer's Guild. It is updated three times a year.
Although essential to those in the entertainment industry, the Hollywood Creative Directory will be useful to other readers as well. --Library Journal, 2004

If you are an aspiring screenwriter seeking representation you need this directory! It not only contains most of the contact information you'll need, but many companies also list a "submission policy" which dictates how you should present your query. I have queried 20 agencies (of about 300 listed) and already got 2 rejection letters. That's good news, because it means that my letters actually got read by the person listed in the directory. Good luck getting your query letters read if you send them "To Whom It May Concern." You need names and this directory has them.

A great book with history & a listing of clubs in the USA
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 1996-08-27
Before I review the book, I must say a few words about the author. I first met Eileen last fall at my favorite club, Nashville's in Timonium, Maryland after corresponding with her via CompuServe. In addition to being a writer, she is an excellent dancer! Before we parted company, she signed a copy of her book for me, which I read cover to cover. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down! It covers everything a person would need to know before venturing out on the dance floor. She talks about the history of honky- tonks, how to dress, and how to act on and off the dance floor. Then she gives a detailed listing by state of clubs that have been around the longest, and finally a listing of newer clubs throughout the U.S. I can't wait to read Eileen's next book and dance the El Paso with her again on the dance floor! Peace!

A very informative book for country dance fans

The book tells novices how to dress, act and proper ways of getting around the honky tonk scene. If you knew nothing about honky tonks and dancing this book tells you the ins and outs of the club life. She speaks from personal experience which adds to the text and makes you feel ready to face the action. I recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about the dance scene.

Review Date: 2000-03-04
Horror fiction is on of the most controversial, often deplored, and misunderstood of all the literary genres. In Hooked On Horror: A Guide To Reading Interests In Horror Fiction, Anthony Fonseca and June Pulliam have collaborated to describe and illuminate some 1,000 contemporary and classic tales of this popular genre. They examine the best-selling hits of the past decade and unearth many undiscovered or forgotten literary treasures of the genre. They trace the history, trends, and appeals of this unique body of literature in all its various permutations with insight and humor, offering a reader's advisory with a lively and thorough introduction to the genre. Hooked On Horror is a seminal work of impressive scholarship that will be a valued reference for educators, librarians, booksellers, writers and fans.

This book is fascinating and remarkably useful. it`s great both for browsing and for reference. I`ve already bought and read two books I found described here and have added several more to my "to read" list. Hooked on Horror is worth the price for anyone who likes horror stories--not only is it enjoyable in itself, but it leads you to other reading within your areas of interest that you may never have known abou otherwise. I know that's true for me.

En bonne sante

Review Date: 2004-01-15
L'auteur Bruce Maxwell est un internaute qui sait trouver des renseignements sur la sante, en ligne. Ainsi arrive-t-il a s'arranger d'un diagnostic inattendu et du traitement qu'il faut. Quant a lui il y a une soixantaine de bonnes sources, en ligne, qui vous donnent, facile et gratuitement, tout ce dont vous avez besoin de savoir de la sante. Par exemple, on se sert de l'index comprehensif Internet Sleuth. Ensuite on trouve des reponses a des tas de questions sur des maladies, des soins preventifs ou des traitements, au moyen d'Alternative medicine, du Center for food safety & applied nutrition, et du RxList. Enfin on arrive meme a trouver comment se proteger des impacts du milieu sur la sante, tels que de l'environnement ou du travail!

Review Date: 2000-11-22
Knowing HOW TO FIND HEALTH INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET helped author Bruce Maxwell to accept a diagnosis and a treatment plan. Then he went off surfing for the rest of us until he had identified over 600 online sources as the most dependable, reputable and up-to-date for large amounts of free, reliable and useful information. And he arranged all of his net finds according to whether they help with DIY information searching, such as through the Internet Sleuth health indexes database; or with specific conditions, diseases, or illnesses; or with prevention and treatment, such as Alternative medicine, the Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition, the National Oral Health Information Clearinghouse, the Needy Meds, and the RxList of capsule and tablet codes when you have unidentified medicines on hand; or with wider relevant issues, such as environmental, occupational and rural health. So it takes a caring, serious writer to put together such a straightforward book with the same patient commitment as Tom Ferguson's HEALTH ONLINE, John Grohol's THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES ONLINE, and MOSBY'S MEDICAL SURFARI.

What an awesome book!!!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2003-06-12
I can't give this book enough credit!! When I was younger I used to write to sports stars all the time, always using the addresses from these books (I had all four). I now have numerous autographs......Steve Young, Cam Neely, Brian McBride, Eddie Belfour, Mike Modano, Jeff Gordon, and many more. They are all real! It is so great..... for people looking to buy the books, I recommend using the team addresses in the back of the book but putting a name at the top instead of the team name. The addresses in the book just go to fan clubs, but if you send it to the team they will give it to the players!!! Anyways, enjoy the book. It's awesome!

Excellent juvenile non-fiction book for sports fans!!!

Review Date: 1998-10-25
This book is incredible informational and fact-filled for young kids who are interested in writing to their favorite athletes in search of autographs. I have found from my personal experience that if you are polite enough in your requesting an autograph from an athlete through the mail, that they will usually respond in a positive manner, although occasionally it does take quite a long time to get a response from the athletes.

I may be a bit biased in my recommendation of this book, as my wife was the editor on the project a few years back during an internship she had while in college, and the author was one of my good friends from college. So Dylan and Inga... WAY TO GO!!! Thanks for giving kids such an informative and valuable resource for trying to get in touch with their sports heroes!!!
