The Art of Writing AdvertisingThe Art of Writing Advertising : Conversations with Masters of the Craft: David Ogilvy, William Bernbach, Leo Burnett, Rosser Reeves

Its quite powerful to read about the legends of the past, way before internet, way before pagemaker, way before computers. A good concept can be so powerful and the whole idea of effective communication via a simple ad headline is really something amazing.

As i classify myself being in the internet industry, advertising have never been a major part of my work.

And with all these new stuff, i was thrown new jargons as well. So Clueless in Advertising was a good book to start me off.
