A good general book, particularly if you are starting out.......2000-09-22

If you are starting out in arts marketing, I think this book provides a good beginning. I was disappointed that there were no author biographies because I wonder what the authors "hands on" experience in the industry has been. I found some of the definitions a little limited in their scope. From someone who is an arts marketer and needs to turn theories into dollars, I found the book to be OK and solid in its advice, rather than ground breaking or terribly innovative.

Book Description

Marketers, creative writers, and individuals for whom copywriting forms part of their job are often required to produce innovative and engaging copy in a short space of time. Creativity is not always to hand, and therefore on some occasions additional help is required to find the right phrase, description or slogan. Gabay's Copywriting Compendium contains a wealth of inspiring tips, ideas and descriptions to aid the writing process, such as advice on spelling and grammar, examples of rhyming words, suggested euphemisms, and odd facts.

- Provides a "Top 25 Rules" section for a number of key topics, such as how to brainstorm, how to write innovative copy, and how to think creatively

- Has been carefully designed to ensure the material can be accessed quickly and easily

- Easy to read layout will assist copywriters in finding appropriate help at any particular moment

A good reference book for advertising writers.......2007-05-31

This is not a how-to book to read from cover to cover. It is a reference book for writing slogans, headlines, or news releases.

It contains lists of idioms, cliches, metaphors, similes, euphemisms, rhyming words, famous quotations, and notable events in world history. It also includes lists of different types of slogans and the basics of writing brochures, ads, and news releases.

If you make your living as a copywriter, you will be glad to own this book.

A great work for a relatively young segment of market disciplines.......2006-08-15

Art marketing, or market fine-art products, seems to distrack from any other known theory base. People evaluate these creative works via a "prestigious caluator," or less than a theory-based model. Liz and Hill's work systematically summary some findings and classical concepts on these issues, helping researchers and practitioners to better discover these ambiguious canon from known events in art markets.
