4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!!!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAfter searching around trying to find some basic screenplays for novies I stumbled on this book. I have been reading through it and find it is exactly what I was looking for. It is easy to follow and offers great advice and information. I wish it was spiral bound so that it could lay flat for photocopying. Thank you to the author!!!
