Summary: An unexpected motivational tool...
Review: I bought this book, along with others, as an easy read for my trip to Australia/New Zealand and read it cover to cover twice on the plane to Sydney. I then found myself so motivated by the book, I couldn't wait to get back home to put my ideas into action. It's nice to see that Jack and Larry still have their remarkable spirit! Thank you for your words and pics.

Summary: If You Need to Come Up with Ideas and Solutions, Read This
Review: I won't write a long review about this small but powerful book. But if you are looking at this review and this book, you need ideas. I'm a professional copywriter with years of experience and ideas are sometimes hard to come by. Yet it is a must in my business. I bought this book to see if it would give me some ideas or some ways to get them. Well, about half way through, I had an entire campaign written for a client --- a really brilliant campaign that was no doubt better than one I might have come up with had I not read the book. So get it. Just get it. Susanna K. Hutcheson

Summary: I read everything that comes out on creativity
Review: I've got HOW TO GET IDEAS, and while its a nice read its far from 5-star book. I have a large library of books on creativity and can think of several books with 1000% more material on creative thinking than this book. CONCEPTUAL BLOCKBUSTING by Adams, ot anything by Michael Michalko such as CRACKING CREATIVITY. The fact that over 30 people have given this book 5 stars tells me the author knows how to create a lot if identities to plug is book. Yeah, I have an Anonymizer account too. Give me a break, this book would best be appreciated by a 10 year old. If you're serious about wanting to learn how to think creatively you can do much better than HOW TO GET IDEAS--unless you took the short bus as a kid, then this is the book for you. Very low-brow material.

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: Ideas. Ideas are the foundation of any successful project. It doesn't matter whether you're working on project at work or on a project at home -- if you can't come up with good ideas to help it along, it won't turn out very well. As a professional personal coach, I always assume that my clients are naturally creative. Yet, sometimes they need a boost to get the creative juices flowing. This easy to read book from an advertising wizard will inspire you to do just that. Read it, and you'll become more idea-prone everyday.

Summary: A great addition to any library
Review: Jack Foster's "How to Get Ideas" is a book you can read and re-read. The proof to me that it's well on its way to being a contemporary classic is that it's been several years since I first discovered it and I still find myself recommending it, not only to individuals but to groups as well when I'm doing workshops.

Summary: Superb book, but having a deceptively simple look
Review: This brilliant little book (on self-help for generating creative ideas) is, however, one that looks deceptively innocuous. Its not surprising, therefore, that I was initially fooled while browsing the cover and contents of this book. When I finally decided to buy it I was lucky to be able to get the last available copy from my local bookstore. Although this book looks at creativity from mainly the viewpoint of the world of advertising (obviously, because the author belongs to that profession), the ideas neatly packaged here could benefit anyone applying them in any sphere of life. Which is why I have been gifting copies of this book to my loved ones. If there is something lacking, and I expect this to be rectified in the next edition of the book, are MORE sample case stories of creative idea solutions of great problems. Also, the illustrations --- barring that on the front cover --- are poor. Fortunately, the local South Asia edition of the book is available in India for INR 195(MRP)from VIVA BOOKS PVT. LTD), with offices in Kolkata, New Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai. Booklovers worldwide may please note that a few USED COPIES of this great book are still cheaply available through amazon.com.
