TV: Sex, Lies & Promos by Deirdre Hanssen and Jodi F. Gottlieb (2000) is a specialized insider's guide to the television promo industry that has received limited but positive reception online. The book appears to be a niche publication aimed at aspiring TV promo writers, producers, and directors, offering practical insights into creating television trailers and promotional content. Based on available data from AbeBooks listings, the book has been signed and inscribed by the author in some copies, suggesting direct engagement with readers, though widespread public reviews are scarce across major platforms.
