Excerpt from the book:
"Copywriting can differ from business writing in its use of grammar. It's been called

underlining, and italics to get their point across. Ads and brochures may be riddled with
sentences starting with And, But, or Or. Sentence fragments are also common.
Copywriters have always strived to make their writing conversational. Why? Because

and personal (even if they are mailed to thousands of people)."
