Would be easier to understand in the 1960s. Some words are not used these days.

Dated classic with a less than desirable orator

While the lessons written about in this classic advertising book are worth hearing, the methods and emphasis are simply too dated to be a mandatory read for any advertising professional.

Also the performance of the reader is not only drab but almost unprofessional. There are stumbles and miscues throughout.

Find the lessons within this book on google and don't waste your time nor money on this audible book.

The Narrater is horrible

I think the content of the book may be pretty good, but trying to get through it listening to this narrator is torture

Great audible on advertising

Gives key points what to do for the best adverting. Headline is most important. Nothing exotic or odd regular print just as good

Your unfair advantage

Imagine how Moses felt when he was handed The Ten Commandments by God. That’s how you’re going to feel when you read the book.

If you’re just starting out this is going to save you money, time and heartache. If you’re already in business and doing well this is going to give you a second home, a luxury car you never dreamed of owning and pay for your retirement and your children’s college.

But… only if you follow these principles or hire an agency that does.

Ignore the reviews about the narrator. The narrator is great. Ignore the reviews saying this is just common knowledge or dated. It’s not. It’s uncommon knowledge to 99% of all business owners. Think it’s too short? It’s brevity is what makes it even more valuable.

Poor narration and editing

Poorly narrated and edited. Narrator takes random breaks and repeats himself. Flow of narration is off which in turn can be very distracting.

It was Ok

Wasn't too impressed with the quality of the book. A lot of breaths and some unedited stumbling.
