Summary: A book worth a look
Review: I am a greeting card designer and writer. Molly's book sometimes states the obvious in her suggestions for creating greeting cards, but when are looking for the millioneth way of wishing someone a happy birthday, that can be helpful. She walks you through brainstorming and I have to say has enabled me a very fresh thought process for coming up with card copy. It's as though she is happy to share the "secrets" of the trade for creating cards. This is one funky business to learn about. It's not like there are college courses on how to succeed in the card business. It's all about observing what's out there and really searching for professinals who are willing to share insights, tips and suggestions and hard facts for succeeding and I think this book does all of that!

Summary: Not what I thought it would be
Review: If you're going to get only one, this is it! I spent 20 at Hallmark in the Creative Writing and Editing departments, so I feel I know whereof I speak. The book is very user-friendly; the writing is fun, friendly and concise. While it covers all types of greeting card writing, it gives a special emphasis in the new humor and alternative styles of writing. And for those of you who want to start your own button or bumpersticker or t-shirt company in your garage, there is an excellent section on this type of writing, we call "Self-Expression." With the hundreds of Electronic Greetings sites now out there, the opportunity for personal creativity is greater than ever. Armed with this book, you'll become a true professional.

Summary: Look for me at Hallmark
Review: Just kidding. You won't find my cards at Hallmark.
This is a great book for people who love greeting cards. I feel so stupid when I'm at the store by myself and other people are around and I start laughing at a card. They just stare at me and wish their card was so funny. But I am easily humored. If you are creative, this is a great book. She gives you ideas and tips, but doesn't do it all for you. She leaves room for your creativity.
