ABOUT DEBBIES BOOK AND THE SOURCEBOOKONLINE

Since we are no longer a paperback book, our resources will now be referred to as TheSourcebookOnline.

Each year we would increase the scope of the book sources to include and provide a broader appeal to those working in all entertainment-related industries. As the entertainment business itself changes so does the focus of many of our companies.

Our original online database was created 15 years ago for dial up usage. Now that modern technology exists with capabilities not available in 1997 we have completely revamped the website to cater to our users more. These changed include the ability to search through the database, create personal lists of companies printable from any computer, and many other features on the way.


A NOTE FROM DEBBIE

This is still a hands on database. Listings are verified, new companies come old companies go out of business or change the direction of their business.

We continue to make sure all sources are those who have worked in the entertainment industry and know the needs of a fast paced environment.

The odd and the unusual has always been our focus and we are now able to expand to new places, services, and products with our new web site that would never have fit in a book.


WE´VE BEEN THE INDUSTRY’S GO-TO GUIDE SINCE 1978

It started out as a simple three ring binder in the 60's, just a collection of names and addresses. The very first edition was typed on a electric typewriter 1978and the first version of the web site was launched in 1997. We hope to expand with new features and continue to be at the forefront as the most comprehensive and quality assured resource for the industry we have always been known for.
USER TESTIMONIALS

"DEBBIES BOOK has been a great source of materials and services for me for over a decade."

- JC Brown
Graphic Designer,Art Directors Guild


Since it's first publication in 1978, The Source Book has been a steadfast part of my reference library.

It's as valuable to me on distant location as it is when I'm working on a studio lot, providing resources for all the oddest or most obscure items which invariably appear in the scripts I design. As a guest lecturer at USC Film School among others, I always introduce The Source Book to my students who are awed by compilation. Its on-line presence will surely make our lives even easier!

- Mimi Gramatky
