If you want to make a quick boost in the results your copy brings home, take a look at some of the better books on the subject of copywriting, and marketing in general. Some of the very best learning you can do about writing copy comes from inexpensive books on the subject - and even books off the subject.

Ask any great writer, and they will tell you that the best way to improve your writing is to read books. This holds true for copywriters, too. Today, I will suggest a few books that will help you to write better copy and get better results.

Here are three books on the subject of copywriting, and one is off the subject, that I have for you.

The first suggestion I have is The Robert Collier Letter Book by Robert Collier. This is a classic in the marketing & copywriting industry. Much of the book consists of ads that Collier himself wrote. The language is a little dated, giving it kind of an early-last-century feel, but the principles hold true.

John E. Kennedy’s Reason Why Advertising is a fantastic book. It is harder to find than the others. At the end of this article, I will provide you with resources to find books like this.

My fourth recommendation is off-topic, but still relevant. While it isn’t about copywriting, it is about selling. You can enjoy this book at any time - in a house, with a mouse, or with a fox in a box! Check out Green Eggs and Ham, by Dr. Seuss.

You may be surprised to learn that Green Eggs and Ham can teach you persistence when making your sales. Learn how to come to an agreement with your potential clients so they become paying customers. It may seem silly, but you can learn important marketing lessons from Dr. Seuss.

I promised you a valuable resource, and here it is. Check out www.SFSBookstore.com. Bret Ridgeway of Speaker Fulfillment Services runs the site. His specialty is finding hard-to-find books on copywriting and marketing. If you are looking for any similar books, I heartily recommend checking out his site.

Buying good books on copywriting is a great investment in your business. The books I have recommended here will be valuable additions to your copywriting library. They don’t cost much, and you’ll get a great return on your investment. The lessons you learn will pay off in ways you can’t even imagine.
