They rereleased it and you can get it for under $200.
I was thinking about getting it.
No worried buddy, happy I could help. $200 is quite a bit for a very good but very small book, why not just print the pfd? It would be cheaper, I have pland to eventually convert it properly but not so easy job as the OCR misses some letters throughout, also to big to "send to kindle" by email. I'll keep the forum updated. I also shared quite a lot more of Gene's stuff in the forum, grab it quick as the mirrors for his stuff never seem to last.

Exactly! I got that famous takedown notice in no time! The only way round would be encrypting the file, but even so there might be someone crawling the forum to report links.
On the other hand, it's quite interesting that they copyright holder neither publishes the work or allows it to be distributed, I mean Gene passed away in the early nineties his company still exists, for them to protect the work so fiercely means to me that Gene's books must be the most effective copywriting formulas ever published or very close, who knows their whole business's strategy are still his teachings!
Now I don't know if you share the same experience, but it's a small book with a lot of information, I find myself reading it again and again, and since I first read it I realized most copywriters out there know nothing about either Gene or copywriting, and they seem to make a very good living out of consulting..
They are probably using a monitoring service to go after links in threads like this. They are a pain in the ass and got a couple of my mega accounts axed.

I just got a warning this time, but I think I will refrain from using them for mirror/share this as I don't want my accounts shutdown, I had issues with Google Drive, but they don't even warn you just delete the files. it's incredible they don't publish this anymore, but to be fair this little book is the stuff of legends, it has to be hands down one of the best instructionals ever on copywriting/ad-line.
That's why I keep referring people to the "4 copywriting books" thread" with Breakthrough Advertising. Too many people chase shiny objects and can't look at anything that's older than 30 days. Also why they continue to chase pocket change instead of the real money.
People - learn the fundamentals and mastery from people who are responsible for BILLIONS in product sales. You'll need to go backwards in time for that. Study Gene's work.

With a strong grasp of copywriting principals, what would be the most profitable use of this knowledge?
Surely the best use of ones time may be to pay an expert, but then what?
What is a profitable, scaleable business?
Digital products, physical products, services?
There are no silver bullets in this business, you can start with the revelation that the entire IM industry revolves around selling crap courses to noobs that can't really complain for wanting to have the cool aid so badly.. Consider this >>job application<< your copywriting skills are everything you got at that stage to secure the interview. Marketing is a tool to promote real businesses, You have to live these things to really progress not only professionally but also at personal level. Don't waste your time with BSO's unless you need to learn the basics of webdesign, SEO etc. Just think for a little: if you encountered an amazing methods to bank a fortune, would you sell it?! The book on this thread alone is more valuable than any "course" or BSO or even all of them combined that ever existed! Some people will say that this book is everything you need to move forward, did you read it yet? It's genius, the stuff of legends. There will be a guy out here that picks up the teachings of one of these masterpieces and makes a fortune selling shoelaces or something that simple, others are probably photoshoping "proofs of income" for their "products" as we speak. Choose the red pill mate, leave the blue one for "warriors"...
