Title: Pass on this one!
Product review: I bought this book because it was supposedly the new and updated version on Bob Bly's classic. Well, let me tell you, there was nothing updated about it. It uses computer and word processing terminology from the early 1980's. In the section which talks about what the freelance writer needs to get his/her business off the ground, it tells the reader that you can get a good computer for around $2,500! Personal computers havent cost that much since the late 1980's!! These are just a couple of examples, but the book is filled with 1980's references. You can tell that a proof-reader simply read through the original copy and missed such references. Then, the publisher gave it a new cover, and sent it back to press! Overall, I found this book to be a pile of badly outdated references and advice which is useless in 2005! I re-sold my copy on Amazon yesterday!
