Do not buy this book! Why, you ask? This is a quote from chapter 15, p.212: “In TV advertising, the manufacturers can get name publicity in two ways if they desire, namely, by flashing the product name in big print on the screen and by having the name frequently repeated by the announcer” (!). Now, you’re probably wondering why I’m giving a quote from *PAGE 212!*. Well, that’s because I forced myself to read this because it was written by some legendary ad guy. But don’t make the same error as I did. Please buy Ogilvy on Advertising, Cutting Edge Adverting, Creative Advertising and Hey Whipple instead. Yes, all of them instead of Tested Advertising Methods. You won’t be disappointed. Or your money back (just kidding).

Waste of money. Waste of time. Only advertising book i’ve been inspired by has been “Hey Whipple Squeeze This.” Save your money and skip this one.

Tested Advertising Methods is a classic book with excellent content. Although I bought a used copy it arrived in good as new condition.Tested Advertising Methods (Prentice Hall Business Classics)

If your in advertising, any type of advertising, this book is a must read. It has incredibly timely advice for the google adwords maven or the copywriter. This even has great advice for those not in advertising. Truly a classic and HIGHLY recommended.

This book is a MAJOR disappointment….I thought I was buying the 4th Edition as advised by many other writers and I can see why I should of.
This book is boring and non inspirational in anyway or form. Claude Hopkins and Robert Collier run rings around this.
