In "E-Mail Addresses of the Rich and Famous", (cf. BKEMALRF.RVW) Godin provided
a poorly researched, error prone, and generally misleading list of celebrity
contacts.  Berry has compiled a much more realistic resource.  Drawing
primarily from Web sites, newsgroups, and mailing lists, this work is a quick
guide to online promotion, fandom, and gossip about the notorious.
 
Although most of the entries arise from Hollywood, TV, and sports, there is
also a section on politics and a welcome inclusion of the fine arts.  Each
entry is annotated, and the author is quite ready to explain the reasons for
choosing this particular site over possible alternatives.
 
Although I'm still not fully convinced of any *need* for this type of book (but
then, what would you expect from an AOLer?  :-), Berry has compiled a good
quality handbook for the star-struck.
