A Good Hollywood History Book

City of Dreams is a great book to read if you want to know more about the history behind Hollywood. From the beginnings of Carl Laemmle in 1906 up to the mid-1990's this book is a very thorough history of Universal Pictures. I especially found the information about the beginning of Universal City very interesting. Anyone interested in the history behind the making of movies, will do well to read this book.
