I work in home video content in the back office. This book gives a great overview of the industry and how it works. I own a copy and bought another for a new employee. Highly recommended.

I had the great good fortune of studying for a summer with Jason Squire. Quite simply, the guy gets the goods in this book. Great interviews, covering every subject of the biz from A to Z. Especially wonderful was how easy to understand this book was – biz books can be so dryyyyyyyy…this one was fun, informative, helpful. In short, a great read.
When I saw this was featured on Amazon, I had to throw in my two cents.

Lots of straight speak from people who really know the industry. For a newbie who wants to understand the mechanics and terminology of the business, this book is perfect. I haven’t found a page yet that I wanted to skim over; there is no fluff. A wonderful bargain even at the … list price.
Don’t overlook this book despite the fact that it is ten years old. Sure, you’ll need another source for DVD, new media and internet delivery. But this book covers everything up to home video very well.
