A hilariously truthful book about the Hollywood industry

This a great little book for anyone who wants to, or already does work in the film industry. It's basically a spoof of what REALLY goes on in hollywood. It rates the places where all the hollywood moguls eat to the cars they drive. Topics include: How not to make it in Hollywood, Nepostism and Hollywood, How to schmooze, terms and definitions, how to name drop for the novice to the advanced person, and it descripes the roles of the agent, director, producer etc, in a rather unconventional yet realistic way. It's a fast reading book and if know anything about hollywood, you'll definately get a big kick out of it. Since it is out of print it will be hard to find. I got my copy at a used book store.
