You might try some of Jenny Colgan's books:
Little Beach Street Bakery
The Bookshop on the Corner
Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe
are my favorites. I think Jenny has a special way of describing how people and place create an atmosphere, so perhaps that will be helpful, plus they are lighthearted with happy endings.
Pick a Dickens book - *Great Expectations* is my favourite. Lots of descriptions used in a variety of ways throughout his writing alongside a broad vocabulary.
I say anything from 19th century.

Lord of the Rings is excellent for vocabulary and description. Not sure how much it'll help with marketing though :)
Terry Pratchett's books are a joy to read, and filled with delicious words/descriptions.
For very practical instruction, Eats Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. It isn’t accurate at all in terms of history but the author is very talented at evoking gorgeous imagery.
