"Jim Aitchison's new book on "How Asia Advertises" is one of the best books on advertising I've ever read. Instead of focusing on technique and creativity it focuses on problems and strategy. To me, that's what great advertising is all about. It's also what a great book on advertising should be about."-- Jack Trout
