Lives on my desk 7 April 2008
Format:Paperback
This book lives on my desk, not in the bookshelf. If I'm feeling uninspired, or just can't think of the right word to use, this book jump-starts my creative thinking. It's simply brilliant.

I can't fail to see how anyone wouldn't think was an excellent book to have by their side, for reference and brain storming ideas.

This is a marketer's dream.

Cheers

Format:Paperback
I recently retrained as a copywriter and out of all the books I have bought for reference and study purposes, this has to be one of the best. I offer copywriting as one of the services in a small web design business I part own and I can tell this book is going to be really well thumbed. A great addition to my office bookshelf, just wish I'd bought it sooner.
