Mike got If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor by Bruce Campbell for Christmas a while back from his sister. He insisted that it was "coffee table book" and that he would just look through at the pictures, but he wasn't planning on reading it. It has been floating around in the living room ever since.
Let me tell you right now: READ THIS BOOK! Bruce Campbell is definitely a B Movie actor (Army of Darkness and Evil Dead II certainly fall into the B Movie category), but he does an excellent job pulling you into the world of movie making where profits are not the first order of business. With in depth descriptions of how to raise funds (and how not to raise funds) as well as descriptions of rigged devices they used to "get the shot" this book kept my attention. He has a great way of telling a specific story about a person that makes you realize that he pays attention to everyone - not just his friends in the business.
I'd love to see Bruce write another book now that he has more TV work under his belt with Burn Notice!
