"[An] entertaining portrait...Mr. Stern is at his best when he confronts the real stars here: the infomercials themselves...But Wait...There's More! is well worth your time." -- Wall Street Journal"One of the most interesting industry portraits to come along in a while." -- USA Today"[An] intelligently composed expos�, an impressive work of contemporary history, full of wit." -- Dallas Morning News"[A] lively expos�. . . . Stern is the perfect host to this slightly seedy world, well-informed and 'transfixed by the zany nature of it all.'" -- Publishers Weekly"In his addictive take on the gimmickry that is direct-response TV, Remy Stern explains why we buy into products with false promises and celeb spokesmen with even falser tans." -- Advertising Age"A wholly fascinating account of a wholly fascinating industry." -- Robert B. Cialdini, bestselling author of Influence"Nothing is more joyously, or obnoxiously American than the infomercial. This is a book for everyone who is, or once was, a late-night TV junkie." -- Paco Underhill, author of the national bestseller Why We Buy"Act now and read this book. It slices and dices the world of infomercials-humorously detailing their meteoric rise as icons of Americana." -- Edward Ugel, author of Money for Nothing"I avoid late night TV like the plague-and Remy Stern explains why, wonderfully, in But Wait...There's More!" -- Michael Gross, author of Rogues' Gallery and 740 Park
