Wonderful complement to a thesaurus
Customer Rating:
I'm finding this book very useful as I blunder my way along into a copy writing career. It's well-organized, compact and easy to tuck into my computer bag. I still like to have a thesaurus around, but for giving my copy a commercially viable kick in the pants, this book is top notch.
Best Marketing Copywriting Book - Period!
Customer Rating:
This book is a copywriter's best friend. I don't know what I'd do without it. I use it ALL the time at work. Some of the pages are even getting worn! I wouldn't live without it. It has paid for its self a hundred times over. It has a very easy to understand layout, and I love the "Snappy Transitions". It's a life-saver. If your a marketing copywriter thinking about buying this book, do it! It's the best decision you'll ever make.
Practical, Useful, Inspiring

This book multiplies ideas over a reliable reference-net made of copywriting experience. I've been writing for professional purposes since 1980 and 28 years later I discover this treasure I would have met before: do not miss your chance, you who are involved in writing any kind of text aimed to really communicate! A must on every copywriter's and businessman's desk.
