This book was published in 1993. It's by a current talent manager at Horipro, one of the largest entertainment production companies. The book is packed with episodes that can't be discussed on TV, from promoting talent to "interesting no-gos." It's an unusual book that explores the job of a manager from every angle. It's a helpful read for those who want to work in the entertainment industry. Although it's an old book, the text is in near-new condition. The cover has no noticeable stains, but there may be minor scratches. It will be shipped via Nekopos (a Japanese postal service).
