There are certain books that make you feel less stupid after reading them than before ... It is a fascinating and never jargon-heavy book. * Le Progrès *
Fascinating ... intellectually satisfying ... Salmon's insights are though-provoking and have ramifications beyond the world of advertising. -- James P. Othmer * Washington Post *
