Review by Choice Review

The fifth edition, fully updated, has an added author, Edward Boches, who contributed chapters 10 through 15 (of 21 chapters). Boches, like Luke Sullivan, the primary author, worked 30-plus years in advertising. Together, they cover numerous topics, including the creative process, positioning the product, advertising strategies, big ideas, catchy headlines, effective body copy, the art of simplicity, advertising campaigns, digital and social media, television commercials, radio commercials, the essentials of giving strong presentations, and getting a job in advertising. Each chapter is filled with catchy subheads and several advertisements that illustrate the authors' points. The writing is very informal and easy to understand. The authors' wit and humor are also on display. Anyone interested in learning how to write copy for advertisements should read this book. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers through professionals. --Edd Applegate, Middle Tennessee State University
