Timeless information that can vastly increase customer base and profit.
I first read this book in the early 1980's........it is one of three business books that I choose to reread from time to time. It is far better than any other advertising information published. Yes it is now somewhat dated, but the information is still golden. Advertising is about informing and influencing people. The wealth of ideas and practical experience in this work can be effectively implemented with any communication medium. It helped my company stand out from others in our product category and take a prominent and profitable position in the crowed local market. If you read this book, learn from the author, and consistently implement the concepts in your advertising it will set you apart in the minds of your target market. This information has made many prospects into loyal customers.

Rapid fire principles of copywriting
This book is like an extension of How to Write a Good Advertisement by Caples.It's written in sort of a rapid fire style. Packed with principles cut and dry. Do with them as you will.I personally love his tips on writing your first draft of an add super hot then cooling it down later. As opposed to starting cold and trying to warm it up.Also I love the examples of the way he and other copywriters start and structure their ads.
