My professional knowledge of marketing personality Seth Godin extends exactly this far: about ten years ago I bought his book “Permission Marketing” and never read it. I can’t really say, then, whether he has any good advice for marketers people interested in communication and digital media–but I can say without reservation that he has written stuff, and some of it is available for you to read for free.
Most of the freebies are in PDF format, and they’re not all full-length books. In fact, many of them seem to be supplemental works released to help promote his official books, but they might still appeal to you. They’re listed on Godin’s own Squidoo.com page, but not in a way that’s very user friendly. A much better list has been curated by Josh Peters on his website Shuaism.
Hey, if anyone actually has a recommendation for one of his books, let me know. (Or maybe just sum it up for me. Thanks!)

I’ve read several of his books.
I’d recommend Purple Cow for anyone trying to sell something in this world. Check out some of the others if you like that one. They do start to re-cover the same ground after a while, but they’re quick, easy reads, and you might get some new ideas.
