Publicity on the Internet
Steve O'Keefe
John Wiley & Sons, 1997
Even the Author Thinks This Book is Out of Date
+ I hear the updated edition is on the way
+ Excellent book covering the internet and PR
I am the author of "Publicity on the Internet," and I agree that it's out of date. Written in 1996, how could it possibly be up-to-date? It covers Prodigy, GEnie, and CompuServe (mostly irrelevant now) as well as AOL and the Web (more relevant than ever). Several chapters are still worth ...

The Sound on the Page: Style and Voice in Writing
Ben Yagoda
Collins, 2004
For a Special Audience
+ Best book I have read about writing !
+ One of the Best
A lot of space on this page has been devoted to defending The Elements of Style Illustrated against Yagoda's abrupt dismissal. Fair enough. Anyone who's ever read undergraduate prose in the days before the kids just copied it all from the 'net has to acknowledge that clarity and simplicity are the ...

Robert L. Holt
St. Martin's Griffin, 1986
Dated but good Info
This book is not recent, therefore some of the information does not ring true anymore. However, it does provide a lot of good information. I checked it out from the library, but it wouldn't be a bad book to own. There is not mention of anything about the internet as it was published in the 80's. It ...
