Out of date, but very encouraging. Gives a step by step guide for those who are brand new to the business. I'm not brand new so I didn't find this very helpful.

It's a very good book that can help an actor get started in the business, but it does need an updated. With everything being done online now, a few things he mentions are out of date.
