Currently in the middle of:

The Martha Rules by Martha Stewart, and

Slugging page-by-page through The Professional's Marketing & Sales Manual by Andrew Neitlich

Have been listening to Dr. Phil's Getting Real: Lessons on Life, Marriage and Family on the iPod.

Waiting in the wings, is a really deep read-through and working-through of Yanik Silver's Public Domain Riches.

Martha Stewart is the Delia Smith of the US - but she does more than cooking & entertaining... gardening and interior design as well.

I found a book that is meant for off-line sales, but has a lot of relevancy when it comes to copywriting.

It's called, "The 5 Paths To Persuasion - The Art Of Sellng Your Message", by Robert B Miller and Gary A Williams...

Great book!


Warm regards,

Stephen Davies
