5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for anyone having to do anything with words, 7 Feb 2001
By A Customer
An absolutely fantastic source that will help you make a powerful impact whenever you try to impress someone in writing or speech. And I mean anyone!

Part of the book is focused on specific occasions and the most appropriate words to use but most of the content could come very handy in diverse situations. If you ever wondered where the advertising people get some of their ability to convince you from, then that's probably one of the answers. Each section of this excellent reference book has pages of suggestions for different phrasing. It is very well structured and it's easy to find what you're looking for. Keep it as a reference on your desk.

After you go through this book, you'll most probably never feel lost for words again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Please give it back, 27 Aug 2004
Sure, this book won't answer every issue. If you're writing for B2B, be prepared for clients to dislike words because they're too 'salesy'. Be prepared for account handlers to dislike words because they're 'too cheesy'. And nowadays, there are many phrases that can be used that don't appear in this volume.

Even so, it's an excellent resource that no agency should be without.

Unfortunately, that describes my own agency right now. Simply, this and 'Phrases that Sell' were half-inched by freelancers.

What better recommendation could there be?
