But there is much to learn here and it is presented in a very easy to follow method. The book does tend to be pretty basic but would fit nicely with its' intended readers; small business owners and beginning copywriters. The book does have some great moments, such as creating the 30-second sound bite (Chapter 1) and creating the tag line (Chapter 3). Beyond that, the book is basic, but fairly thorough. As far as actual copy goes, there are chapters on postcards, press releases, print ads, brochures, web copy and newsletters. There are also samples of each at the end of the book.
