THE BOOK to understand how money flows in the Entertainment industry. Good reference, but the edition I read had data that seemed outdated.

[Nataraj Sindam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a great way to understand all segments that exist in Entertainment industry. Understand how these segments are valued and evolved over time.

Even an older edition is valuable as it gives a sense of how industry changed over time and a great time stamp comparison with current trends.
