Format:Paperback
Read every other book about advertising creative before you read this book, because "The Book of Gossage" will spoil all those other books for you. They just won't be as inspiring, or even as interesting.

Gossage was a fascinating man, with a fascinating life, who did incredible advertising.

Must read.

They called him "The Socrates of San Francisco." Howard Luck Gossage had a small advertising agency in a San Francisco firehouse. It was here that Friends of the Earth began - where the world was introduced to Marshall McLuhan. They even did some legendary advertising. Jeff Goodby wrote the intro - Stan Freberg contributed a piece - if you love what advertising could be, you just might like this book.

Reissued 2006 24 Aug 2006
By sunny
Format:Paperback
Reissued 2006 (including Disc of Gossage) by The Copy Workshop after having been out of print for years. It's a marvellous book about "The Socrates of San Francisco", the genius Howard Luck Gossage who had his very own ideas about advertising: "People (...) read what interests them. And sometimes it's an ad." Ordering from Amazon should soon be possible again, too.
