5.0 out of 5 stars But it should be 10 stars!, February 8, 2005

This review is from: How to catch the Big Idea: The Strategies of the Top-Creatives (Hardcover)
This is not your typical book. This book has really gone into the core of creativity with interviews to the worlds top creatives: Dan Wieden, Marcello Serpa, Gooby, etc.
What's interesting it's that author kept the quotes from the creative director so you can actually see and feel them thinking.

It's a must book for advertising.
