I would go one step further...if you don't have talent, those books can't help you. If you do, you don't need them.

I also think there can be a difference between a hit song and a great one. Taylor Swift's new one is an insipid piece of woke robopop. I've heard better songs on Josie and the Pussycats.


Though books like that may mostly be for hobbyists to dabble in to improve their work, I do actually know of pro's who used that book and others and it made impacts on them. One of them has written country hits and won a Tony award as well. So they are not invaluable. It is just like my exercise equipment/diet cook book example on another post. They WORK if you actually use them as directed, but very very few do.
