Special Features

You will also find the best advice on certain topics in my section " From the
Top " by the ones running the
entertainment business today. Since entertainment changes daily, some of the
writers and entertainment professionals may have been promoted or demoted from
the positions they held during the writing of this book, however, I will make
changes according to the major changes that occur over time, thus, the
capability of an E - On Line book. Here are just a few people that helped to
