5.0 out of 5 stars AN EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO MAIL ORDER!!, February 7, 1998
If you are interested in mail order this book will get you off to a good start. Wilbur is honest and straightforward and illustrates his points with REAL anecdotes.The only drawback is the complete lack of any information concerning the internet and world wide web.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, May 27, 2003
By "intentaccess" (Boca Raton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This book was a pretty good book. It gives lots of examples as what to do, and what I learned from, what not to do. Very informative and the information can be used to look back on. Lots of examples to writing classified ads as well as sales letter that will get you the responses you are aiming for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, March 24, 2002
By Queen (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews
This book is a good book to start off with. Im starting my own home based business and I felt like I was about ready to start after reading this. He gives you good examples of classfied ads that he has used and shows you how to write sales letters that will pull responses. He tells you what you should and shouldnt do. I will probably always refer to this book. You should also try Melvin Powers mail order books but dont try 101 Great Mail Order Businesses by Tyler Hicks.
