From Library Journal
Levinson began his series of "guerrilla marketing" titles in 1963 and now has almost 30 to his credit. Here he is joined by Rick Frishman, a previous collaborator who is president of Planned Television Arts and executive vice president of Ruder*Finn, and Jill Lublin (Insider's Edge to Powerful Publicity), CEO of the strategic consulting and public relations firm Promising Promotion. In 33 fact-packed chapters and two appendixes (sample materials and a resource directory), the authors offer a practical, step-by-step guide to publicity. Tips range from how to make friends in the media to using the Internet to publicize a product, and sample press kits and media packages are included. The book is not definitive but very usable, giving readers the know-how to carry out many of the functions of public relations and to find further information as necessary. This book belongs in public and academic libraries that serve business practitioners. Littleton M. Maxwell, Business Information Ctr., Univ. of Richmond, VA
