"Steve Monas' excellent chapter on Motion Picture Distribution is a lively and illuminating mixture of comprehensive substance and insightful anecdotes all mined from Steve's wealth of professional experience. A thorough and engagingly readable guide for current or future legal practitioners and executives alike...or anyone interested in the intricacies of motion picture distribution agreements."

"We (Sierra Club) now own three sets of The Essential Guide to Entertainment Law. We knew we could gain valuable insights into the subject matter from anything Jay Shanker and his colleagues would offer."
