Quite honestly, this is the only text book that I have sat down to read on its own accord. The information is very useful and entertaining to boot. It discusses commercials and why we like them and how they appeal to us. It talks about movies, icons and cultural phenomenon that you can identify with. Just sit down, read the first chapter, and you will understand why this is a quality text book.
