Real-Life Applications

Flick Through It
Flick through the book to your relevant section and you might get a few ideas to get you going in your copy

CONS

No Guidance
All words are tossed out in the same list, there is little guidance as to what might sound better for your specific needs.

PROS

Lots of Words
There are really a lot of words and expressions which can help you get unstuck when you’re at a loss for words or adjectives.

Sparks Ideas
I guess it can be very helpful also to branch out for new ideas. If you’re writing about self-improvement for example you might not necessarily need to use the words in the book, but it can help you see other possible benefits of the product that you weren’t even considering.

Review

In the era of Google Dictionary Words That Sell loses a bit of its utility. But it’s still useful since the categories are very detailed. So for example you have ” luxurious” or “money-making” and all possible related adjectives and expressions are categorized for that specific copywriting need.

Personally, I was looking for a “normal” book and I was a bit disappointed to find out there is little explanation or little guidance as to what might work better.
But it’s supposed to be a collection of words and expressions, and it does what it’s supposed to say.
