 Coverage for Reading for a Living: Desperately in need of an update!
The foreward by the author claims that he thought about doing an updated version of the book, but he decided not to, because everything is pretty much valid.
Then he goes on with his kick off advice ...... get a typewriter, ribbons, dot matrix printers......yep....very 1980's.
Dude! Update your book! This sucker in its current format is 2 decades old. Come on! Take some pride in it!
 PLEASE UPDATE THE BOOK, no one even knows what a word processor is anymore and no you can not back up your work on floppy disc
This book is rather elementary and really out dated. He has a chapter about buying a word processor. If you have absolutely no idea what written script coverage is then it will give you an idea but other then that, forget it.
 Start reading for a living!
A unique book to break into script and book reading for a living. A very useful tool for people who want to break into this business. A practical guide to the business of story analysis. With lots of ideas, resources and tips.Needs updating! By Thei Zervaki

See your script from another P.O.V.
Whether you imagine YOURSELF "reading for a living" or not, this book will help you see from the READER's perspective what makes a good script. Your script will likely not become a motion pictures without having first passed through the hands of a reader. With that said, how can you afford not to know what the reader expects of a well-crafted story? If you can't get the reader to at least give your script a "consider", then all your painstaking effort is a loss. This book offers some interesting advice.
The Info you need to be a reader
While somewhat dated, this title offers a lot of information that will help you get a job as a writer. It shows you great techniques on how to critique screenplays, as well as how to "grade" the scripts and format coverage.
