Great Info!!:
If you have been in this kind of field before you will know that this book is a great help.
Very detailed and well organized.
Not for beginners:
I did not find this book to be a good choice for the novice. I would recommend this to someone in the sales area of public relations but not the education area. Also, I think the checklists were quite long--too long for someone who is looking more for tips. Other books that exist that are more educational and beneficial to the novice.
Not a winner:
Unless you are running your own business and have absolutely no PR experience, this book is not for you. I found it very basic and a bit outdated. No reference to online PR at all -- or even email releases! Save your money.
