Ok, so none of these books are what you might expect a PR consultant to recommend as none of them are about PR agencies. Only one of them is specifically about media/PR/sales. But that’s because to be good at public relations and brand building you need to understand business and you need to understand people.

So each of these books helped me do one or both of those. If you don’t like reading books try audiobooks or ebooks. But for me there is nothing better than curling up with a cup of Bailey’s spiked coffee and a book!
