Interesting Historical Account.......2006-07-22
Tafel's account offers an interesting look at the role of a young architect serving under Frank Lloyd Wright. A talented individual in his own right, Tafel is occasionally too deferential to his Master, but then people were more respectful in that era. Many photographs, including documentary pictures from the studio and of construction projects in progress flesh out this useful study. What is most interesting is the look at a comprehensive training and site experience that is sadly lacking in the education of young architects today.
not an exact reprint.......2004-02-04
Apprentice to Genius is good reading but any buyer should be aware that the Dover reprint differs significantly from the original. Originally, most of the photos were in color but the reprint's photos are all b&w. It was disappointing to be deprived of the beautiful original photography.
Tafel's years with Frank Lloyd Wright.......2000-06-25
I bought this book since Edgar Tafel designed the home we live in and I wanted to learn more about him and his relationship with FLW. The book is very informative, shares the experiences and gives one a flavor of what it must have been like to live and work with FLW. Tafel was one of the first class of FLW apprentices....and later became part of the fabric of the school of architecture.
The book is full of photos and intimate glimpses. I enjoyed reading it...and I share it with friends.

Customer Reviews:
A couple of points ... .......2004-07-22
First, just to clarify, this is a book for people who own a small business and want to start an e-newsletter (written & edited by themselves) about it; it's not a book for people looking for information on getting into the business of producing e-newsletters.
Second, I found some of the advice ... well, here's an example:
In a chapter titled "What do I do if I can't write?" the author says "The most effective e-newsletters are those that sound as if the company leader is just talking, filled with all the slang, run on sentences and joking around that comes out in person."
That just doesn't sound right. It would have been nice to see an example from a highly successful e-newsletter in this style, but the author doesn't provide any examples to support this assertion(or any of the other dubious-sounding bits of advice in the book).
A Must Buy -.......2004-01-20
Michael Katz is a repository of hands-on real-world knowledge about newsletters. His 141-page text was a quick and informative read, and serves as a handy reference. This excellent book is worth every cent if you're interested in writing newsletters.

APPENDIX II - E-Newsletter launch template and checklist
must-read A-to-Z resource for e-newsletter publishers.......2003-11-11
This is a valuable A-to-Z resource for e-newsletter publishers. I was a partner in a successful e-mail marketing firm for several years; access to Michael's book during that time would have saved me countless headaches and missed opportunities.
Readers new to e-newsletters will find this book a terrific "how-to" guide. Michael's humorous, down-to-earth style is engaging and entertaining, as he demystifies the process of launching an e-newsletter.
Experienced readers will find Michael's book a great checklist and reference for both new and on-going e-newsletter programs.
It's a quick read, but an essential one if you're serious about succeeding with e-newsletters today.
What a Tiny Book! Is That All There Is To It?.......2003-07-15
It's the smallest book I had seen on anything related to the Internet and I had a whole lot of BIG problems with my e-newsletter that I needed solved.
I finished reading it in an hour or so.
Type a few extra words here, click a few buttons there, start a better (read simple and profitable) business relationship over here, and BINGO! Big problems are all gone, bye-bye.
Yes, the book is funny; Michael Katz is a very witty guy.
Yes, the book is easy to understand; the author has laid the whole thing out in a "FAQ" format and has obviously had it proof-read by a smart 8-year old to make sure he has communicated all his points as clearly as possible.
And Yes, Yes, Yes, the book is not obsolete within 3 minutes of publication; the typical fate of anything related to the Internet. The material deals with Internet publishing on a level that makes it virtually timeless.
I wish every business book I purchased made as much sense, solved as many of my business problems as quickly, and made me WANT to write a review that glows in the dark!
BUY THIS BOOK! It's worth your money.
Terrific!.......2003-05-22
Just what we needed to get started. I didn't even know where to begin, and this book moved us through it. What i liked most is Michael's emphasis on relationship and content in being successful and breaking from the pack. A clear, funny and useful book.
