3.0 out of 5 stars Depends what you are looking for!, May 6, 2009
This review is from: 175 High-Impact Cover Letters (Paperback)
This book, as the title implies, provides many excellent cover letters, however, it is poor in specifics. Unlike other books, this one contains very general advice and some statistics. I would recommend this book to those that want to get a sense of what other people's letters look like. I find that spending time dissecting these letter to be time consuming and tedious.

Books that I would recommend are:

"The Elements of Resume Style" by Scott Bennett and
"15 Minute Cover Letter" by Michael Farr and Louise Kursmark
