Depends what you are looking for!
This book, as the title implies, provides many excellent cover letters, however, it is poor in specifics. Unlike other books, this one contains very general advice and some statistics. I would recommend this book to those that want to get a sense of what other people's letters look like. I find that spending time dissecting these letter to be time consuming and tedious.

Books that I would recommend are:

"The Elements of Resume Style" by Scott Bennett and
"15 Minute Cover Letter" by Michael Farr and Louise Kursmark

Doesn't Transfer Well to Kindle
I just want to clarify that my review is on the Kindle edition.I felt the book was helpful as far as reading the text.However, it was impossible to read the 175 samples which was a key element for me purchasing the book.Not having the ability to see all these letters defeated the purpose of purchasing it in the first place.

Very Helpful.
The example cover letters where very helpful.I am looking for a job and I have used the cover letter as an guide in helping me create my own.I always receive a phone call or letter of response.

Fantástica colección de ejemplos...
Este libro, junto con el de "Resumés" presenta una fantástica colección de Cartas de Presentación para todo tipo de trabajos. Incluso cubre modalidades poco exploradas tipo Cartas-CV o cartas referenciando a terceros que forman parte de tu networking.

A mi modo de ver, le faltaría un poco más de organización a la hora de agrupar las cartas, es complicado en este caso (y curiosamente no lo es en el de Resumés) el diferenciar el trabajo al que va destinada la carta, salvo si uno lee la carta.

Por lo demás, los ejemplos son muy buenos y prácticos.

Product Description
Although a resume is important, the cover letter is the first impression. This book is a compilation of great cover letters that helped real people get in the door for job interviews against stiff competition. Included are letters that show how to approach employers when you're moving to a new area, how to write a cover letter when you're changing fields or industries, and how to arouse the employer's interest in dialing your number first from a stack of resumes. Some of the cover letters in this book landed jobs in fields including financial consulting, data entry, insurance, banking, customer service, school systems, restaurants, hospitality industry, retail, police force, social work, nonprofit organizations, sales, municipalities, medicine and healthcare, landscaping, management information systems, teaching, publishing, top management, electronics, accounting and auditing, agriculture, criminal justice, human resources, manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, dentistry, academic affairs, childcare, sports, rest homes, business operations, journalism, quality control, the arts, bookselling, and many other fields.

Designed as a comprehensive guide to cover letter preparation, the 272-page book shows examples of exciting and door-opening cover letters. The first section of the book shows cover letters used to blow doors open in the accounting, banking, and financial community. From aviation, to computer operations, to management, to sales, to transportation, cover letters tailored to specific fields are illustrated which can be used as "models" or templates tailored to specific fields. But what if a job hunter is changing fields or doesn't need a cover letter targeting a specific field or functional area? The book has a complete section showing examples of all-purpose cover letters, career-change cover letters, cover letters for entrepreneurs, and cover letters for those seeking their first job. And for those seeking advice on how to respond to ads, how to handle questions about salary requirements, how to request consideration for multiple job openings in the organization, and how to write letters for special situations, there's a section entitled Sixteen Commonly Asked Questions About Cover Letters (and Job Hunting).
In a job hunt, the cover letter is the first impression, and great cover letters can blow doors open to create employment opportunities. Job hunting just got easier with this great book!

When your résumé appears on an employer’s desk you may have as little as 10 seconds to make an impression before that employer moves on to the next résumé.

‘If you have not already recognized it as such, you had better now realize you live in a competitive world. And to get ahead in it you had better be willing to compete.’

Employers will never be impressed with YOUR NEEDS. They will not be impressed if you make them WORK HARD TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT FIT IN. It cannot matter to a practical businessman that you would "enjoy" the work or that you are a "nice" person who needs a job.

This book tells you the secrets of how to put together a résumé and cover-letter combination that will sell you on paper.Rather than just showing a bunch of formats you can copy on your own this book teaches you what the best job finding attitude is and shows you how to put that attitude to work for you in a résumé that will blow away the competition.
