Glam Scam: Successfully Avoiding the Casting Couch and Other Talent and Modeling Scams
by Erik Joseph
List Price: $13.95
Our Price: $11.16
You Save: $2.79 (20%)
Paperback: Published 1994
Lone Eagle Publishing ; ISBN: 0943728665; Dimensions (in inches): 8.0 x 5.30

The author, Erik Joseph/ejf@doitnow.com, September 30, 1998
I wrote this book because it needed to be done. There are plenty of books that tell how to break into The Biz, but none that warned of the perilous pitfalls -- especially for beginners. Parents need this book too... I've gone undercover to expose frauds and dangerous fakes. I can read them like a book -- and it's all here. Warner Brothers once optioned this book as a tv-movie. The option is currently open. I have also appeared on just about all the tv and radio talk shows. I'm proud to say this book has helped many, though the "picture" is sometimes dark. Good luck, and listen to your instincts as you follow your dreams.

The publisher, Lone Eagle Publishing Co, May 16, 1997
