“If you are not hooked (hook, line, and sinker) within ten minutes of starting David Meerman Scott’s wonderful new book, well, I fear for you. Beautifully written cases that reach out from the page and grab you and shake you—and practical advice that anyone, anywhere can use in a flash to make hay. I simply loved this book, and doubled my knowledge along the way.” 

Tom Peters, author of The Little Big Things
