Good Books on Marketing: A reading list provided by the Subscribers to the Excess Voice Newsletter

In a recent newsletter survey I ask everyone to write in with the name of good books on marketing they had read over the last little while, and really enjoyed.

The list below, in no particular order, includes everyone’s suggestions. Some of the books were suggested by several people. There were a few suggestions that I haven’t included, and those were great books...but not really about marketing.

Enjoy...
