The real king of all media, Feb 1 2001
By John - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Art Director Confesses...: I Sold Sex, Drugs, & Rock 'n' Roll (Paperback)
Mike Salisbury has long been one of my heroes, both for his innovative design work and strong knowledge of marketing. This book provides great insight into how Mike approaches a project and why he brings so much more than design talent. And the vivid examples from his extensive portfolio are inspirational, to say the least.

lotsa big bright pictures! An autobiographical account of this mike salisbury guy, a celebrity art director/graphic design type who came up with some of the most unforgetable commercial graphics and campaigns of the last 30 years (Joe Camel, Rolling Stone magazine, Jurassic Park, and even Micheal Jackson!). The guy's kinda pompous, but I guess that's the gig in the promotion and marketing game. Worth reading!

Art Director's Art Director, Sep 10 2006
By Charles R. Nauert "Mahatma Randy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Art Director Confesses...: I Sold Sex, Drugs, & Rock 'n' Roll (Paperback)
Mike is an artist, photographer and art director.
He can see great talent and know's how to put it to work. He has launched many careers in the process and has kept several great artists alive, by throwing them work, over the years.
Mike has worked with "The Best" in his 50 years of experiencs and has helped shape the present culture by utilizing his, and other's, talents.
This is a great collection of his work, presented with tongue in cheek humor. Totally entertaining and enlightening. Lots of smirks and laughs too. And... some cheesecake as well!
