A tad overpriced!

I received this item quickly. The data is pretty generalized so you have to guess-timate in differing scenarios. The "2008" is misleading because it uses 2007 data. This particular purchase was fairly frustrating as market conditions changed abruptly, so the book wasn't of much use without an update. I think the publisher might have provided something at their website based on the market conditions. Wished I had waited for the 2009 version.

Great value for anyone who sketches media plans on the fly

I create full web marketing plans for my clients who want to break into the Internet via the web with a focus on search marketing and call-to-action oriented content. This little book takes note of several emerging Internet-based marketing trends.

With insights and latest data on the full range of media, including TV, radio, internet (incl. rich media), outdoor and much more, plus Top 100 Markets, at-a-glance section organization, and a helpful glossary, this pocket-sized reference is a quick, lightweight companion on the way to the office, cab or flight. Take it to the hotel and review before the big client meeting. There are tons of ways to make the most of this handy tool. I've seen how it can make the difference when quick numbers and insights are what's needed to sketch out a media buying plan.

Awesome! Thanks Ron. Just in time. I'm looking forward to buying other things from your store. I appreciate it. We just landed a major national media account with stores in 15 media markets, and for a small agency, data costs are just sky high. This is great.
