Mavericks at Work - LaBarre and Williams More current and pretty breakthrough in it's thinking/presentation. I loved this book. Olgivy on Advertising - David Olgivy Twenty-five years later and he's still right. It's interesting how fast number one came to me and how much of a struggle it was to get to two and three... It's also been a little revealing to see how many of the books listed above we've all read. Will definitely pick up Bird by Bird; thanks for the recommendation! A Prayer For Owen Meany – John Irving
