A great book for your advertising collection
This book, though it seems a little bit old in writing style, is very good value. It starts with a list of the 100 best headlines ever written and explains why they were so. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book! This book goes into "why" not just "how" so you can learn how to do it yourself. You'll find chapters on understanding the emotional triggers, using facts, using proof, ...

Decoding Advertisements (Ideas in Progress)

Judith Williamson

Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd, 1994

A powerful book.
I don't ever write reviews or do this sort of thing, but since this book is seemingly so marginalized in this online store, I felt it important to say: I was never the same after this book. I don't look at myself or at anything in the same way. I can scarcely even put it all into words. You simply must read this book. With every passing day, the world is more awash in nonsense. Nothing ...

A Basket of Flowers
This is a sweet story for all to read. Mary and her father walk a life we all should strive to achieve. An excellent book for older children to gleen determination, faith, and patience without bitterness.

I Lived on Narragansett Bay
I read the complete set of books as a young girl. Fifty years ago, I found them in the Warwick Public Library, yellowed, loose-leafed, dog-earred, but very interesting. Imagine my delight when I learned they were being reprinted. Presently, I am buying them for my granddaughter. Having performed some genealogical research, I find that Colonel Barton, who captured General Preston in this ...

John Wesley

J.H. Padgett & Co, 1889

Christian Perfection and John Wesley
John Wesley (1703-1791) firmly believed that God continued to work in the life of the believer subsequent to justification. In A Plain Account of Christian Perfection, Wesley provides an account of the development of his understanding of the doctrine of Christian Perfection. This short work contains a lucid explanation of the doctrine with special attention not only to the Biblical promises ...

Aulnoy

McLoughlin Bros, 1877

A great, uncommon, fairytale.
I read this book as a child and loved it. I have searched, since having my own children, for it. I found it to have good story line and an unexpected ending. I also felt that it was a story to keep dreams alive. The story is about an old king with three sons and he not knowing who to give the kingdom to, sends his sons on quests. The youngest son, who has the best attitude and honor code, is ...

Plum bun

Jessie Redmon Fauset

E. Mathews & Marrot limited, 1928

Truly a Classic!
Ms. Fauset was one of the most underrated members of the Harlem Renaissance. Plum Bun is by far the strongest of her novels. I saw more in this story than simply a discussion of color and privilege, I was pleased by the complexity of the relationship between the two sisters in this novel. Ms. Fauset is one of my literary favorites, and a woman that I truly admire. I recommend this book ...

Childhood Revisited
I am 61 years old and I read this series when I was in grade school. I read them over and over and they made a great impression on me. Each story made me feel as though I were a part of history. I admired these young girls and their families so much! I have searched for years to find them and could find no one who had heard of them. I would recommend them for every young girl's library. They ...

Gender Advertisements

Erving Goffman

MacMillan, 1979

Classic on How to "read" images and ads
OK, this book can be hard to find. But it is THE essential source at the foundation of how to interpret visual images, especially as they depict gender roles. It takes a lot of studying to learn to "see" -- to see the patterns of symbolism in ads, for example. Recent books tend to rush this process or to be satisfied with only the most obvious, superficial layer of symbolism. I recommend taking ...

Ellis A Davidson

Crosby Lockwood and Son, 7, Stationers' Hall Court, Ludgate Hill, 1888

The processes of house-painting in oil and distemper???
Thank goodness it is a practical manual. I can't imagine how a theoretical manual would read; interesting no doubt. Since the emphasis is on common sense, I am going to take a higher view that is an improving book and not simply another crypto anti-Fabian tract: one designed to break the power of encroaching trade-unionism (however sound an idea that might have been at the time). I am stuck at ...

Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution
XXXXX "I do wish married people would understand that a lot of singles actually WANT to be single. Why does that bother you?...It is like the story my (happily married) friend...likes to tell about meeting the late Ann Landers, who said, `You tell that Richard Roeper to figure out what's keeping him from getting married and to fix it!'"" The above is found in this meticulously ...

An Old Book what some great ideas
It is an old book with some great ads in it. And he tells you why they are great. Also ways to get customers views of your product. It is not the best book for the money but I have no regrets buying it, because of ads and whys to get information from customers. They ways may be old but would still work for today's world. I may put this book in my shopping cart for just $19.95. I don't know yet.

For anyone who is interested in how politicians convey messages this book is imperative. By analyzing such a wide array of television spots, thousands, actually, Dr. Benoit has opened the public's eyes to exactly what politicians are saying to us. Very interesting!

Thomas De Quincey

Printed by Ballantyne and Co., Paul's Work, Canongate, 1832

Ah, what genius...
Let it be known that I cannot be unbiased when it comes to De Quincey. When browsing aimlessly through my college's library a year ago, I discovered him and have been entranced ever since: with his eloquence, with his brilliantly feverish imagination. Klosterheim demonstrates the fascination with German themes that one sees in other Romantics and Victorians (Carlyle and Coleridge, for ...

Three months under the snow: The journal of a young inhabitant of the Jura

J. Jacques Porchat

Carlton & Phillips, 1853

Beautiful and tragic story
This is the true story translated from the French journal of a young boy who, with his grandfather, gets trapped in a summer hut in the early fall. Because of the Grandfathers poor health and the deep, unexpected snow, they must remain for 3 months living on fresh goat milk, a few potatoes, and a few bottles of wine. It is my all time favorite book. This is the most beautiful, truthful story of ...
