Although the book is about advertising principles used a hundred years ago. I’ve found out that many of them could be adapted very successfully

The Classic of Classics…
“Advertising is just Salesmanship…”
I would like to a day I will just have ONE book on my desk on Advertising, this one.
I believe if I decide to Master the core principles of this book, this will be the ONLY book needed on Advertising.
The more I read and I see, this book IS the Masterpiece on Advertising.
Other books that exist on the field – in my opinion – are just big books of what this book already said.
Clearly this book covers all A to Z of the “essence” of Advertising.
It is the “Bible” of Advertising.

What a genius of advertising this guy was. So many valuable lessons to learn here. One would think that being as old as this book is, and how advanced marketing is these days. The advise could be redundant. Not true.
by Patrick Allen
I didn’t like the fact that the book has a lot of red marks and notes scribbled all over it. This was not advertised.
by M. P. D. Wheatley
Many sales and marketing guru’s and copywriters for that matter, cite Claude Hopkins as a major influence in terms of the techniques they learned from his work and the principles he explains in the many mini case studies and examples in these two works.
I agree with the guru’s the man was a genius, I have copies in my collection of various ads that Mr Hopkins created. Not only was he a great copywriter he understood how to structure deals to generate interest, using coupons and direct response mechanisms, that can easily be applied to today.
Here’s a quote to end this review.
`Argue anything for your own advantage and people will resist to the limit. But seem unselfishly to consider your customers desires, and they will naturally flock to you.’
It’s one of those books you need to read a few times, making notes in the margin, asking yourself the question. How can I apply this to my business?
