This is the best little book on the topic. It gives no-nonsense tips and techniques to follow for better reading, better SELLING, brochures and other marketing pieces. Plus it shows lots of examples, so you really understand the points the author is making. If you're a beginner at doing a direct mailer, this is a must read that will give you confidence to do your task. If you're an old pro, this book will bring you back down to earth to make sure you're covering all the basics of effective marketing writing and design. I give seminars across the country on this topic, and when people ask me what's the best book on writing a good brochure, this is THE ONE that I recommend.
