My guess is that most in here don't own "The Robert Collier Letter Book" and yet will pike it because it's featured on lists of recommended books from their favorite gurus. Of those who have it, few have read the whole thing.

I would never recommend the book to any noob who is looking to build a foundation in copywriting. It's a boring read and no one writes letters like those featured in the book today. There are plenty of books in the same price range that are much much better.

You'll get 10 times more bang for your buck by reading books by Sugarman, Caples, Nicholas and Lewis.

wordsmith asked if "The First Hundred Million" was worth buying and NO ONE besides Rave and myself own or have owned the book. Yet, it's on those guru recommended lists. Why haven't ya'all bought that "classic?"


Mr. Subtle CAN be bought (from time to time):
