Product Description
How to find the ideas that make for great ads and deliver them in fresh, memorable, persuasive ways.

Ideas are what make advertising great, but they're elusive, which is why great ads are so rare. Advertising: Concept and Copy covers the conceptual process, from developing smart strategy to executing it with strong, distinctive copy. Over two hundred ads, many in color, demonstrate the strong thinking and writing that underlie the best advertising. 250 illustrations.

Product Reviews:
  Bravo George Felton! 
This book will give you a good and serious all-around the world of advertising. There's always more than one creative solution but only one strategy. And that's what this book is all about: Finding the best concept/idea for the right strategy. Bravo George Felton!
  Great book for those who are advertisers 
It's a great book for those who are advertisers or students who are studying advertising. The book is filled with colorful ads that help defend what the text is saying. It is very resourceful and beneficial in all aspects of advertising, from print ads and campaigns to television and radio commercial spots. I recommend it.
  One of the best books on advertising. 
I have a huge library of books on advertising and copywriting, and I have to say, that this is one of my favorite books of all.

This and Hey Whipple top my list, although this is written more of in a textbook format than the other book. I can't understand why that other teenage review would give a negative review of this book, especially if he didn't understand it. Teenagers know everything, and when they don't understand something they put it down I guess.

Either way I can't stress enough how much i've learned from this book. It's a must-have, I repeat must-have if you are working in advertising today.
  mr. felton rocks! 
i was lucky enough to have mr. george felton as a professor for copywriting. loved his class and loved his book. he teaches as well as he writes. our class was taught from his book by taking different excerpts from different chapters as lessons. both his class and his book have been first class all the way. a good book to read on advertising. it gives you a different perspective on the whole relm of the advertising industry. stellar book!
  You're not really an "ad guy" until you read this! 
I read this book 4 years ago and still refer to it when I'm in a slump or just want to generate new ideas. I would suggest this to anyone in the advertising business or anyone interested in learning how to concept. It really gives a fresh and new perspection on how to look at a product, and then how to write about it. It's simple, funny and keeps you wanting to read more. I know a lot of George's work, and found it just as entertaining as informational as his articles. George kicks some serious concepting [rear].
