I thought "everyone knows what marketing is about" but we don't (at least, I don't). I got The Marketing Century: How Marketing Drives Business And Shapes Society which gave me an update on what has changed, and it gives you a fantastic overview about all of the different ways to market, but it doesn't tell you HOW TO.
Marketing for Dummies does exactly this - tells you HOW TO.
Start with customer profiling and decide which customers you want more of. It's obvious - once "for Dummies" reminds you. I know all of this stuff but i don't do it!

I can't recommend "Marketing for Dummies" highly enough, for anyone with a small business that needs to market, and for anyone who needs to find out about marketing in a hurry (eg students, management who need to work with marketing, someone joining a marketing team tomorrow who doesn't want to look like a twit). It is extremely practical. By all means read "Marketing Century" after a year or so, but don't do like me, walk before you try to run

Good basic book 1 July 2011
Format:Paperback
Another good basic marketing book in the Dummies range. Does not go into detail as many of the other marketing books but does give a basic grounding and has many suggestions. Its the sort of book you dip in and dip out to get the information you need but not enough to write an assignment.

The title is perhaps a warning of what to expect from this book. Now, books in the Dummies franchise do obviously vary when it comes to content as they're all written by different authors.

This book is great if you know nothing about marketing, and have lived in a cave for many years but a lot of the information given will be plain common sense for most people. For the complete marketing novice this might be a helpful title but most people will find they're already implementing or have implemented a lot of the advice given in the book.

The book covers quite a few different areas and aspects of marketing but is a couple of steps shy of covering anything in great detail. Those already doing marketing activities for their own business or their employers will probably find it lacks real substance.
