Useful for Beginners 26 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
This text came highly reccommended by my lecturer and it is easy to see why. The layout keeps you interested and for those that don't know a lot about the career subject the book provides theory in an easy to understand format but also gives you an insight into what you could end up doing post degree. Very informative, not too expensive and a worthwhile read. Would buy it again in a heartbeat

Format:Paperback
This book is a must have for anyone studying or hoping to pursue a career in PR. It is our core reading book for the PR degree course and I have found it very useful. As with all academic books some of the referencing systems and quotations are a bit mind-boggling at first, but as you work through it and re-read it you will find it progressively easier to read and it will become and essential source of information.

Perfect Introduction 12 Jan 2012
By Dagmar
Format:Paperback
The book is a good introduction to PR, because it covers various areas of the field. The chapters are short and give therefore a perfect overview of various topics. I used the book a lot during my master's course and found it useful for many assignments. I think, the book is not only a great information source for students, but also for Public Relations Practitioners.
