“I have only begun to scratch the surface of your book "The Business of Show Business", but, had to e-mail you to let you know how very much I appreciate you writing it.  It not only has a wealth of information in it about show business, so much of it pertains to "life" itself and how one should live ones life to its fullest with no regrets.   Portions of the book could very well be entitled "The Business of Life".  I am sure you must get this compliment all the time, but, I just had to let you know that you have done a great service to the industry as well as people in general.  Those who come in contact and read your book will be better people for it, whether or not they continue to pursue an entertainment career.Thanks again for all your words of encouragement.
