The Devil's Guide to Hollywood |
|
 If you like books that you can leave on the table and dip into every now and then, then The Devil’s Guide to Hollywood (subtitled The Screenwriter as God) may be just the book you want.
Not exactly ranking high in the best screenwriting textbooks awards (if there were such events) The Devil’s Guide is a strange volume. Full of anecdotes, quotes, and snippets of instructional widsom, it is not a book to read from cover to cover. |

Adventures in the Screen Trade |
 "The most knowledgeable book ever written about the irresistible spell of the cinema." Thus is quoted the Sunday Telegraph on the front of this book by William Goldman. I can't really comment on this claim as I haven't read that many books about the irresistible spell of the cinema. I can, however, say that it is a thoroughly enjoyable and well thought out book, which all aspiring screenwriters should read, especially any who have their sights set on Hollywood. |

The Art and Science of Screenwriting |
|
 When a writer sets themselves up as a Guru, a doyen in the field of writing, you expect them to be able to engage the reader with well formed, grammatically correct, sentences; paragraph structure would make sense; punctuation would be to the standard of the queen's English. In short, any book that such a master published would be easily readable, easy to understand and well laid out.
