    Instead of books, I'll recommend authors - as the best material is often in the form of seminars and audio books.

    Anything by Seth Godin is going to be good. If you're new to marketing you might start out with an introductory book so that, when you move on to the other books you'll have a frame of reference for the lingo used in them.

    I am not looking for SEO based books ... I am looking for hard core marketing tricks by top Marketing Guru ...

    Yes Mr. Seth is no doubt one of the most influential person when it comes to marketing.

    So please tell me Book name with Author name ( Or you can give book name as well but Author name will confuse because I am sure he/she has written more than one book)

    Well when it comes to online marketing, I dont ready anything published more then 3 months ago, since it is outdated.

    Best would be to find blogs (check my sig for mind) that give marketing methods.

    Cheers,
    Mukul

    I'm reading this now. Definitely a good book. I get kind of lost at times, but I'll probably just have to read it a few times to completely get it all.

    I always recommend this one to anyone wanted to get started in business and marketing: No B.S. Sales Success by Dan Kennedy

    Great book - will help you "get it" quickly.
