  • #BIT15Reads: Spin by Clive Veroni

    Spin: How Politics Has the Power to Turn Marketing on Its Head by Clive Veroni My rating: 5 of 5 stars Clive Veroni is a masterful writer and this is a timely book. Not until most of the way through this book does he reveal that his degree in English literature has served him well…
