5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for anyone interested in email marketing, January 22, 2009

By	Chris C. (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This book is very easy to read without too much unexplained industry jargon to make your eyes glaze over. It's informative and chalk full of useful data. However, it's not a tome full of pages of fluff - just the facts and extracted data to get a good intro to the business or a primer for a veteran.
