Reviewer: Janice King, www.writinghightech.com
"Words that Sell" has long been the most well-used reference on my bookshelf ... I use it more often than my thesaurus. It is particularly helpful for finding just the right adjective, which is key for any kind of promotional writing.

Reviewer: J. Tatman,
This book is a copywriter's best friend. I don't know what I'd do without it. I use it ALL the time at work. Some of the pages are even getting worn! I wouldn't live without it. It has paid for its self a hundred times over. It has a very easy to understand layout, and I love the "Snappy Transitions". It's a life-saver. If your a marketing copywriter thinking about buying this book, do it! It's the best decision you'll ever make.

If you could only buy two books on sales writing, make sure this is one of them. It's an excellent tool filled with choice words to ease you out of a brain fart and get your sales piece flowing.
