By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Seldom does a how-to book so thoroughly accomplish its goal. Read this text and you'll learn how to compose great copy. Information in: skill out. Copywriter extraordinaire Joseph Sugarman explains what it takes to write copy that sells as he covers the basic elements of a print ad. He then delves into the writing process by revealing his methods, such as letting your thoughts flow unhindered onto the paper and giving your ideas time to incubate. Then he switches his focus to explaining which emotions motivate people to make purchases and how to incorporate these "psychological triggers" into your advertising. Although Sugarman confesses up front that his lessons focus primarily on print mail-order advertising, he provides a chapter on copywriting for various media. However, it is obvious that his strength lies in mail order. The emphasis on print ads notwithstanding, getAbstract urges anyone who wants to communicate effectively to pick up this thorough, lively copywriting guide.

Learn From a Master 4 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
This is based on a seminar that Joe Sugarman used to charge people @ $5,000 to attend.All the information is presented in an easy to read, entertaining style.Nothing is held back, and he also breaks ads down to show you how to craft your own copywriting efforts.Anyone who needs to communicate effectively (everyone?) should read this classic.At this price it's a steal.

By The Truth TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a working copywriter I quite often buy and read books like this, and I'm always left with a feeling of... how shall I put it?: Meh.

I found this book to be a lot better than previous reads, though. It contains a lot of the same information, and OK, it's a little outdated now perhaps but there were one of two interesting points in there that I certainly have brought into my own writing; which I have to say is a first from any book on writing I've read - at least for a long time anyway.

The book describes and demonstrates Sugarmans style of writing and the thinking behind it very well - and even though the style of copywriting he uses isn't applicable in every situation, there are still principles that you could use in any piece you pen.

If you're buying a book on how to write copy as a novice I'd say this is a very good place to start - if you already know your stuff, you'll probably find more tools to add to your kit in here than in other books of a similar ilk.
