It seems that celebrity memoirs are a dime a dozen (though that doesn't seem to stop me from gobbling them up). This book, however, is part memoir, yes, but mostly it's a guide to the acting business. Best known for her role as Pam on The Office, Fischer discusses tips for building a resume, getting the right head shots, finding an agent and/or manager, and properly detecting scams. Scattered throughout all of these tips are anecdotes from Fischer's acting life, illustrating her points and giving readers fun insights into the native St. Louisan's experiences. It's fun, it's fresh, and it's informative. Even though I have no intention of leaving librarianship to become an actor, I very much enjoyed this book.
