5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and especially useful to the publicity novice., January 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: You Can Hype Anything: Creative Tactics and Advice for Anyone With a Product, Business or Talent to Promote (Paperback)
This book takes a casual approach to the subject of publicity. The book is thorough and especially useful to the publicity novice. In addition to a useful dose of Eastern philosophy and her own experience as a PR professional, author Raleigh Pinskey offers hundreds of tips from the editors, reporters and television booking agents who ultimately decide to cover, or not to cover, your story. Reviewed for Entrepreneur Magazine by Stephanie Barlow.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, September 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: You Can Hype Anything: Creative Tactics and Advice for Anyone With a Product, Business or Talent to Promote (Paperback)
This is one of the few books out of several dozen I have ordered from amazon that have been disappointing. The reason is now obvious to me: most or all of the other reviews have been written by Ms. Pinskey's friends and contacts. The book itself is uninteresting, generally fairly obvious, and heavily biased towards the US market. I would have given it two stars, but I am sufficiently angry at the misuse of the review system to want to introduce some balance. I just wish she'd put her energy into writing a better book instead of churning out this dull waste of paper and then pushing her associates into promoting it.
