The updated third edition ... continues to provide new generations with a powerful, in-depth approach to creative advertising routines ... [A] recommended pick for any business library. This book should be handed out to every freshman in college instead of taking that freshman comp class. It's a beautifully written and illustrated exposition of everything you need to know about writing lucid, funny, eye-grabbing, thought-provoking copy, whether for the Web, journalism, or longer forms-like books. Read this instead of Strunk and White; it's much more useful and to the point. -- Nick Morgan, PhD, communication theorist and coach, founder of Public Words Felton has not just written a course on copywriting techniques, but rather a travelogue through the land of thinking... Even the most long-suffering, jaded, cynical agency ad person will benefit from having this book in the desk drawer and secretly dipping into the 'Toolbox.' -- Byron Ferris, Communication Arts magazine Finally a book that strips away some of the smoke and mirrors of the creative process and gives students a groundwork for concepting an advertisement. I would recommend it to anyone considering this profession. -- Christopher Cole, vice president/creative director, BBDO, New York Full of incredibly useful stuff that will make anyone thinking about getting into advertising up to speed on the most important part: the Idea. -- Steve Stone, founding partner, Heat, San Francisco The best advertising book I have ever read. Most books overextend with power phrases and industry lingo. Advertising: Concept and Copy, on the other hand, speaks superbly to anybody. I think it's the clearest and most concise text yet produced for the advertising professional, covering all the most relevant topics without being boring or technical. It's practical, intelligent, relevant-and my secret weapon. -- Simon Morris, director, P2P Interactive Marketing & Advertising, Melbourne, Australia
