What Is A Good "Direct Mail" Book?

What is a good book on the subject of direct mail marketing? SOmething that explains the subject and gives some insight into how to reach the motivated seller?
I love John Locke's postcard on this site!

    Over the years, beginning in 1980, I suppose that I've met with hundreds if not thousands of distressed homeowners in their homes, or in my office.

    The first thing I did (early on) was ask, "Let's see the letters that you've been getting...."

    After awhile, I had quite a collection of solicitations from lawyers, mortgage brokers, real estate brokers, creative investors, foreclosure consultants, etc.

    Interesting stuff. The most well received/credible solicitations were those that offered something for free, some useful information. Something that had a use/benefit after the initial read.

    I suggest that you start your own collection... and learn what your competition is doing.

    AN excellent suggestion! I have collected a couple and had the same idea as you, to do something that would give value to the individual. I have toyed with providing three months credit repair service after the short etc.
