Good book. First section is a review of Roy Williams first three books. The creative writing section is good for expanding one's concept of creative writing.

I rescue dogs. I normally do o.k. in finding good homes but I had to do better when I got up to 9 and could not find homes for them. I bought this book. Studied the technique. Now I have families fighting over who gets my dogs. Great. It's all in the presentation. These are examples.
more poetry and pictures than instruction December 5, 2002

Let me begin by saying that I am a HUGE fan of the Wizard of Ads trilogy. I found them inspirational, educational, and fascinating to read. I noticed a drastic improvement in my writing techniques because of them. This book, however, I did not enjoy very much. The opening chapters are reprints of ones in the previous books followed by pages of photos with submitted stories behind them. While some of the captions were great to read, I found myself quickly bored and never quite made it to the end. I purchased the book under the assumption that it was in same genre of the trilogy rather than a coffee table book- which, admittedly was my mistake- but it just wasn't for me. On a positive note, having an example of the techniques never hurt anyone; and all the proceeds go to charity.
 No text, no techniques... just pictures and captions September 13, 2002

A total waste of money! I believed the subtitle of this book: "... Techniques..." There are no valuable or original techniques here, and next to no explanations about how to write.If you're looking for how-to on writing, DO NOT get this book.

If you haven't read a book by the Wizard yet, you really should. Once you start reading you'll never want to stop. It covers some of the concepts that exist in the other Wizard of Ads books such as "Seussing" "Being Monet" and "Frosting" as well as more concepts and then a plethora of "literary snapshots" to accompany black and white photographs. It is not only another book I wouldn't want to live without for information purposes but it also manages to stir up creativity and emotions through the writing. It also reminds me of a magazine I once had a subscription to, The Sun.
