Get it TODAY... before it's gone for good! November 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Without a doubt, Robert Collier's "Letter Book" is one of the top five books ever written on the subject of writing effective sales copy.
Robert Collier was a genius, who even today, most of the big names in the business try to imitate, and for good reason!
The hardest part in creating a 'salesman in print', is asking your prospect to exchange their hard earned money, for the product or service you have to offer.
Robert Collier did this in a fashion unlike any other...
...his copy 'effortlessly' makes you feel compelled to take action, while leaving you in no doubt that you're making the right decision.
I personally refer to the infamous "Robert Collier Letter Book" for inspiration whenever I sit down to write copy. It's right here on my desk at ALL times... you could say it's my copywriting bible!
My advice is to get yourself SEVERAL copies TODAY, before it goes back out of print...
...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
One of the best! October 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Wisdom of Robert Collier I - Including: The Secret of the Ages, Secret of Power AND Secret of Gold
Awesome!!! The message is simple and clear on most things concerning wealth, abundance, spirituality and money. Collier advises on ways to usher balance into life's situations using the right attitude and thinking. I enjoy re-reading Collier's books, and recommend it for all adults in these days of credit related despair and spiritual hopelessness. But, Robert Collier's books are not for the lazy minded - You have to seize from 'mental masturbations' in forms of day dreaming and really focus on your desires to get maximum results.
advanced stuff October 1, 2008 Another reviewer though this was beginner stuff - a shallow reading I think, for this is one of the most advanced copywriting books of all.
Collier wrote a long time ago. His language is stuffy by today's standards and people who do not like old fashioned books will not enjoy this one much.
His understanding of human nature is profound. The people he was selling to were less jaded than today's consumers however - he was really a pioneer of selling books profitably through the mail.
I don't recommend this book to people of borderline literacy or those who despise black and white movies - they won't like it.
Today you can get it on PDF but I say buy the book itself for a few more dollars- it's been kept in print by his family who publishes it and does a nice job with the binding of the paperback.
Interesting record from days bygone August 27, 2008 Everything in this book has been used and abused over and over again by marketeers. Maybe in it's time it was indeed pioneering work - now it is just a curiousity. Things have moved on, although human nature hasn't changed one bit.
