For Dien (and others who know the secret word)

[Dien Rice]

Hi Gordon,

I've known about Mel Martin for a long time (there's a chapter devoted to him in Denny Hatch's book, "Method Marketing")...

However, I feel that only now am I really beginning to appreciate his copywriting genius...! (I feel Denny Hatch didn't quite catch what we've managed to catch...)

Mel Martin was virtually unknown in his lifetime... In the end, he wrote exclusively for Boardroom Inc., who bought all of his time, and Marty Edelston (who owned Boardroom) wanted to keep Mel Martin's name a secret, so nobody else would grab him...

Best wishes,

Dien

I bet that cookbook ad, almost as it is, could be sold today via a youtube channel.
