Dobkin loosens up in this third book, Direct Marketing Strategies, and mixes his acute sense of humor with this intense and lean collection of “How-To” direct marketing articles. Some are fun and funny, some are academic; all are incredibly helpful at increasing response.

Dobkin’s fifth book, Vital Signs, is all humor. It’s a flip-style book; a collection of over 100 really, really funny signs that can be displayed on a desk (with its own built-in pop-up easel) or hung in a car window. Funny. Very funny.
