5.0 out of 5 stars excellent buy.........., November 7, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Writer's International Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents: Make the Whole English-Speaking Publishing World Yours with This One-of-a-Kind Guide (Paperback)
I admit,that I was a bit cynical on buying this book,but after reading the first three pages not only did I realise that it was an excellent buy,but that the information was practical,useful and easy to follow.Six months later I have got an agent and have come back to amazon to recommend it and to thank them for delivering it so promtly.

This review is from: Writer's International Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents: Make the Whole English-Speaking Publishing World Yours with This One-of-a-Kind Guide (Paperback)
This book has a poor style that is no more worth than TV program listings in a local newspaper. It excludes helpful guides through which you could win an agent or an editor, and is certainly not rich in its listings, so don't buy it unless you've contancted a dozen agents and all rejected you, this book might give you alternatice routes to more minor agents.
