Disclosure: The author is a close and personal friend.

Still, that doesn't take away from this charming book about life in the advertising industry. Part memoir, part friendly advice. Written with wit and unshakable optimism that all young advertising creatives started with but few retain. Aspiring creatives will read and find fuel for that fire in their belly. Those who've done their time will read and laugh... and reminisce.

I was once a copywriter just like the author. And after reading this book, I wish I still am.

Young group of friends selling vintage (second hand) clothing from Japan. The rice-sized shop is tucked in an alley behind Ben Thanh Market. Look for a black pirate flag bearing their logo.

Also, their promo video is more watchable than most commercials. Song: Fall in Love by BenZel.
