About the Book

Written for the ordinary consumer as well as for advertisers and trade regulators, this book aims to demonstrate how advertising can better serve its audience. The author discusses the tools of the advertising trade, and what the law will and will not allow, in his analysis of what's wrong with advertising, how regulation sanctions deception and what reforms are necessary.

About the Author :
Ivan L. Preston is the Journal Communications-Heyse Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has been honored three times by the American Academy of Advertising, including serving as its president. An expert witness and author of numerous articles on advertising law, he is the author of The Great American Blow-Up: Puffery in Advertising and Selling, also published by the University of Wisconsin Press.

Review :
"[Preston] meticulously dismantles advertisers' arsenal of dirty tricks: implied but spurious claims, 'minimal facts' promoted as significant, puffery, infomercials disguised as news programs, and empty 'nonfacts' vaunting a brand's superiority over all others. . . . A potent handbook for consumers awash in misinformation."--Publishers Weekly "A powerful analysis of what's wrong with advertising, how regulation sanctions deception, and what reforms are necessary. Advocates, educators, and regulators will find the book both provocative and useful."--Stephen Brobeck, Executive Director, Consumer Federation of America "A stimulating examination of ads, cases, and rulings that leads us to think about how regulation might be changed in the future. The book will inform students and practitioners on all sides of the issues, while challenging them with some proposals sure to be controversial."--William L. Wilkie, University of Notre Dame "In this fascinating examination of contemporary 'ad-speak, ' Preston reveals the logical tricks behind familiar ads and reviews their legal status. He then goes on to argue for a 'revolutionary' new standard for advertising, saying that ads should be constructed in such a way that consumers can rely on their content."--Robert Herrmann, former President, American Council on Consumer Interest "Preston discusses the tools of the advertising trade and what the law will and will not allow, citing several memorable cases, involving Sears, Volvo, and Heileman Brewing and its PowerMaster malt liquor, among others. . . . So what's a little, or maybe more than a little, deception, or image-building, in love and competition? Everybody, or almost everybody, does it. And consumers don't really believe all they see and hear, anyway. Preston begs to differ, and he does so strongly and effectively."--Chuck Hutchcraft, Chicago Tribune
