Too Much Information,
I got this book as a complement to Resume Magic. At first I thought that 443 pages was way too much information for something that should be easy to write. The book is so long because it has 100s of examples which really help the reader to understand how to write a cover letter.
The most valuable chapter in the book is Chapter 3 - Writing Your Cover Letters. This chapter goes into depth the steps to write an outstanding, winning cover letter. However, you don't find out until Chapter 4 that the long cover letters written in Chapter 3 do not apply to email cover letters. Which is how 95% of cover letters are sent today.
The book also offers ways in which to handle disclosing salary requirements and salary history. As this was something I needed help with, I found the information extremely useful.
There are 120+ pages devoted to sample cover letters for Blue Collar & Trades Positions, Young Professionals/New Graduates, Mid-Level Career Professionals, Senior Managers & Executives, Technical & Scientific Professionals, and Career Changers. I found these samples invaluable. I used them to compare my cover letter to the ones written by professionals.
There are 100+ pages devoted to the other parts of your job search -- Thank You Letters, Tips & Techniques from Recruiters, Next-Generation Job Search Letters, Winning Resume Strategies, and tips and techniques to recession-proof your career. None of these chapters really added anything to the book. You will find more useful advice in a resume book and a career management book.
Overall, I found this book provided too much information. I recommend 15-Minute Cover Letter: Write an Effective Cover Letter Right Now (15 Minute Cover Letter) instead.

very good book,
I really liked this book and the examples. There were real life scenarios and very well written examples of how to adress them in your letters. The same goes for Resume Magic.

Reference book 'The Only Resume and Cover Letter Book You'll Ever Need',
This is an excellent reference book for the serious job seeker wanting to present him or herself as a strong candidate worthy of an interview. The book has hundreds of examples that can assist in putting together a professional resume and cover letter. The accompanying CD is also helpful in giving the job seeker some basic templates from which to make a start in the job application process. Well worth the modest investment.

may not be helpful,
Yes, this book is thick and heavy. No doubt it had a lot of examples. Actually, examples are the only things this book has. There is no explanation on what makes a good resume or cover letter. "THE ONLY RESUME AND COVER LETTER BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED!" is TRULY an overstatement. You can find better resume and cover letter examples online for FREE.

Great book,
Wow! Lots of sample letters and resumes. Great for examples of wording and format. Best of all, all on disk so can copy & paste onto your own resume. Just what the title says.
