Customer Rating: Average rating of 4/5

Summary: Extremely useful. fills in what "Contacts" leaves out
Comment: On the surface this is a reference book of names and addresses for the freelance actor who is looking for work, and "Contacts" does have a much larger and more comprehensive list. However, "Actor's Yearbook" also has the contact person at every company (which in itself saves hours on the Internet when doing a letter-writing campaign), thoughtfully lists when the contact person is due to leave the company if their contract is expiring, has a calendar listing in chronological order all the general company auditions that are held, gives a detailed description of what sort of work every listed company does and how they like actors to approach them, gives a whole section on disabled actors, and has twenty two concise, informative and witty articles on every aspect of life to do with actor's employment - from the point of view of employers like the director or the casting agent, to a description of life in a van on a small tour, to a very realistic article entitled "An Actor's Guide to Keeping Sane." It won't replace "Contacts", but it deserves to be on every actor's bookshelf alongside it.
