Summary "Amid his take-no-prisoners citation of ad failures, Garfield also lays out rules for good advertising - commonsense rules too often forgotten between the initial brainstorm and the final "advertrocity." And Now a Few Words from Me is a primer, a volume of case studies, an earnest reflection, and a hilarious exercise in journalistic hell-raising. Advertising may or may not get better as a result of Garfield's book, but it will never be the same."--BOOK JACKET
