E.J. Cossman's book is part of my support system and changed my life for the better. E. Joseph Cossman advice helped me to go from debt to success (out of debt) in less than 3 years. The book contains advice to help anyone. The advice is not limited to mailorder, and applicable to all businesses and professions. Yes, your job can benefit from the advice. Don't be afraid to invest in this book and use the advice to help yourself from debt to success. Sounds like a good title for a book.

All the best, Franklin

I work a lot with new businesses. In fact, that has been a ministry of mine for the past twenty years. This book is the book I recommend or out right give to anyone who is just starting out in business. Just the first chapter alone is worth the price of the book. Those who have sour grapes concerning this book are just ignorant. My father used these same principles to start a successful catering truck business that lasted until he was too old to do it anymore. So, what he has to say REALLY, REALLY works! The book is cheap, gives good advice and is funny as well. What more could anyone ask for? BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!! You won't be sorry!

Mr. Cossman probably inteaded this book to help others on the road of financial prosperity through a home based mail order business. However he falls well short by only going into little detail on many areas instead of great detail in some areas. If you are looking for a wonderful motivation tool than this book is for you. However, if you are looking to make a million I suggest you purchase something else.

The basics of marketing don't change. Cossman was one of the great marketing gurus. He gives you ideas you would never think of. Much of his mail order basics apply today to the internet.

E. Joseph Cossman has had a positive effect on my life. This book contains foundation information for any entrepeneur. Business is like a safe with 3 number combination. This book is one of the numbers to unlock the safe to become wealthy. As a Cossman Seminar graduate, I personally endorse his books and materials as very helpful for any person in business. This book is part of any entrepeneurs' foundation. The entrepeneur must add the product and/or service, capital management, innovation & imagination, and the personal drive & desire to become wealthy. This book is part of the entrepenuer's mix.

Here's the deal: If you are serious about making money in mail order or direct response, don't get any of these waste-of-time books that "claim" to show you the business. The ONLY book that I've ever read that can (almost) exactly mirror exactly what I do for my $7-million per year business is a book by Vincent James called The 12-Month Millionaire which you can get on eBay (or type in on a search engine) since it's not a regular published book. The only thing I wouldn't follow in that book is the low priced items he recommends selling like wrinkle creams and weight loss pills (stick with information courses of $199+ with mail order as a RULE, ALWAYS). Lower end products of $99 or less will cause you to lose money in mail order EVERY TIME!!

With a copyright date of 1993, I was expecting this book to be a little dated. If you look carefully at the copyright page, however, you'll notice that the original copyright date is 1964 with another edition in 1984. This version isn't really a new edition, it's simply a hopelessly outdated waste of time.

Frankly, I am shocked that Simon and Schuster would publish and promote such a worthless, outdated re-tread of a book. This certainly makes me think less of their brand.

Cossman serves up a bunch of hype that has little or no contact with the real world that he claims to have made it in. THis guy is so full of himself you wonder why the EPA hasn't declared him a walking toxic waste site! Save your money and your time - this book is only a waste of good trees and ink.
