I was looking for this book because the author - due this book - was included in the documentary on the film industry 1939 year, generally perceived to be the greatest year in pictures when it comes to quality and output. This is considered THE book on the business side of the old Hollywood Studio System, not with the personalities of the stars the focus. This book is an old book, not available for digital download and mainly in hardback or even paperback (like here) but this was by far the lowest price I could find on this out-of-print book. THE STAR MACHINE by Jeanine Basinger is the book you want if your focus is (also) the star-making system itself. These two books work together to cover that entire film-making period.
