Title: You'll swear because of it, not by it
Review: There's at least one screenwriting agency listed in Writer's Digest's WRITER'S MARKET that won't even open anything you mail them unless you've read everything Syd Field has written on the craft. I fail to understand why, since it appears that Syd is to screenwriting what Freud is to modern psychiatry: someone only referred to on an academic level, not a practial one. I used this book to help me write my first screenplay, which was rejected by a screenwriting contest and later a major agency. It spends too much time glorifiying the Jack Nicholson film CHINATOWN than providing any practical information on such important things as formatting or maximum number of pages or even what font to use. It's also quite dated, since it mentions that you can register a script with the Writer's Guild for as much as $3.
