5.0 out of 5 stars Your Title: The Most Important Ad Copy You Will Write, October 2, 2000
By 
This review is from: How to Choose a Winning Title: A Guide for Writers, Editors, and Publishers (Paperback)
Check the bestseller lists. Good titles make books rise to the top. The title is part of book packaging and packaging sells everything we reach for on the shelf. Some other books make passing reference to titling; this is the only book to explore titles in depth.

Nat Bodian is an absolute master of book research. Through rules and examples, he shows you how to choose a winning title for every kind of book.

As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend this book to writers, publishers and bibliophiles. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Must Have for Every Writer, Publisher or Marketing Expert, July 15, 2007

This review is from: How to Choose a Winning Title: A Guide for Writers, Editors, and Publishers (Paperback)
Don't let the original publication date be of any concern...this book is as timely today as ever...maybe more so than ever given the proliferation of aburdity and the need to speak to a client in less time than ever. Bodian's works are a gold mine of info. Do yourself a favor and get your hands on any of them possible. I have and haven't regretted it a bit. Absolutely fantastic information. No fluff. Solid facts and full of specifics.

5.0 out of 5 stars The First and Only Book on Choosing Your Book's Best Title, February 8, 1999

This review is from: How to Choose a Winning Title: A Guide for Writers, Editors, and Publishers (Paperback)
Thius is the first and only book to help authors with selecting an appropriate "selling" title for a book they have written. As a good title can sometimes make or break a book, book titling is often a critical factor in its success...........--Nat Bodian, author
