For anyone thinking about coming to Hollywood to get into acting (or continue their acting) then I recommend "Hollywood Here I Come" by Cynthia Hunter. It is aimed at the 18 and over actor but parents can also get some good information from this book. As the industry changes weekly and sometimes daily -- some information might be outdated but the general information is the most informative I have ever read about getting started in the industry.
Also for every age (but parents of kids especially) is "It's a Freeway Out There" by Judy Belshe Toernblom. It is a large book crammed with everything you need to know about working in Hollywood!!!! I would say for "newbies" it is a must!!!!!!
Both the above books can be purchased from Amazon.com
And for parents of minors -- another must have -- is The Blue Book by the Studio Teachers. I believe the only place to get the Blue Book is from www.studioteachers.com. The SAG office used to sell them but I would suggest checking the website!
