Your Film Acting Career: How to Break into the Movies & TV & Survive in Hollywood
$17.95
Although this book has good information for someone starting out in Hollywood, it is VERY outdated and anyone reading it definately needs to read newer books on the same topic (and there are plenty of them!).

Promoting Your Acting Career: A Step-by-Step Guide to Opening the Right Doors
$19.95
I have owned this book for a while and it is my go to book for the business side of things for New York. I am not a New York actor yet, but most of the east cost can use this book. I do feel this book could have expanded on the subject of marketing(typecasting, branding) by adding more about casting and image. Otherwise it is an excellent book. It is also alot less expensive than a trip to see Mr. Alterman himself. His fee is something like $500. I would only suggest consulting with a business coach once you have exhausted all other possible sources.
