Why read it?
1 author picked Truth, Lies, and Advertising as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Smart, witty, well written—full of memorable insights and delicious examples. It’s over twenty years old, yes, but until human nature changes, this book will be relevant.
From George's list on copywriters on the rise.
