‘Every serious business professional should have a copy of this book; it’s an absolute godsend. One of the three business books I always have on my desk to refer to, it’s worth its weight in gold. In fact it’s worth its weight in saffron.’

‘I loved this book. So many important business decisions are still made - and swayed - by writing. So if you can harness style, structure, substance and the psychology of persuasion in your writing, you've got a powerful business advantage.’
