I believe one reason that book is so good is that Sayers worked (I'm pretty sure) in an ad agency and knew what she was talking about.
Yes indeed she did. She was the author of the slogan "Guinness is Good For You." Quoting the Wikipedia:
/Sayers' longest employment was from 1922 to 1931 as a //copywriter <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copywriter>//at //S.H. Benson <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.H._Benson>//'s advertising agency in London. This was located at International Buildings, Kingsway, London. Sayers was quite successful as an advertiser. Her collaboration with artist //John Gilroy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gilroy_%28artist%29>//resulted in "The Mustard Club" for //Colman's <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colman%27s>//Mustard and the //Guinness <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness>//"Zoo" advertisements, variations of which still appear today. / -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
