This is, quite simply, the most effective tool to finding celebrity contact information available today. The format is incredibly simple -- this book is basically just one massive encyclopedia of celebrities -- over 60,000 actors, musicians, athletes, politicians, religious figures, world leaders, authors/writers, models, directors, producers, artist/photographers and reality tv stars -- arranged purely in alphabetical order, and including only their mailing addresses. In many cases, especially that of media stars, the addresses provided are for the agency that "handles" them, as opposed to the celebrity themselves directly. Although you may be able to locate SOME contact methods for certain celebrities, via their websites and other means online, no other resource is as comprehensive as this. Trying to track down Robert Englund (the original Freddie Krueger)? He's in here. Want to drop a fan letter to Buzz Aldrin (the second man to walk on the moon)? His agents are listed here! Got a question for scientist Temple Grandin? You'll find her mailing address here. The only drawback, from an organizational standpoint is that there is no index by category -- the information here is solely by the celebrities' names. But if you know who you're looking for, and you haven't found it in a quick web search -- this is the tool to use!
