Book Reviews of Words that Sell: More than 6000 Entries to Help You Promote Your Products, Services, and Ideas

Book Review: Excellent addition to any copywriter's library
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been writing ad copy off and on for a bit more then five decades - and books like this are a part of every copywriter's arsenal. When you're sitting there, stuck for the right word, books like "Words That Sell" are great to have at hand.

They should be used as idea starters. Just browse them and sooner or later inspiration will strike. I strongly suggest having a library of books of this kind. I still have and use one I bought decades ago called "15,000 Useful Phrases". Compiled over 80 years ago, it was recently republished and is available through an Amazon seller.

"Words That Sell" is laid out by topic or category, such as "competitive", "informative", "sensory-qualities" and so on. The categorization is intelligent. Most of the words and phrases will be familiar: don't look for originality or novelty here. What you're looking for is catnip for your own personal muse . . . word after word, phrase after phrase, while you mull your problem over in your head. The "eureka" word or phrase is here or in one of the other books from your collection. Just let go and let the synapses fire.

The fun begins with "Words That Sell". Let yourself go, take the chore out of inspiring yourself. Browsing through "Words That Sell" is a tonic for your mood.

Most of that last paragraph was grabbed from "Words That Sell". A very worthwhile addition to your wordsmithing library.
