Cal,
I have responded to an offer like this in the past, but it didn’t specify that I buy the book on a specific day. The person I bought the book from has had other similar offers. I didn’t feel there was anything unethical about the offer. This seems to be this Authors’ (hypnotist, guru) standard operating procedure.
By the way, I am enjoying your sites and blogs very much. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for you comment. So, deception and graft is a form of promotion like any other? Sorry, I have higher standards.

I did not assume that the book was either good or bad, only that falsely driving up the book to #1 on Amazon, is being done to send out the message that the book is a great one, when what was working here is graft and deception.

I would rather not be associated with an author who promotes his or her work in that way. If cheating and deception are way that this individual works, then I would wonder about the validity of the content of the book itself. Wouldn’t you?

Now I’m off to a birthday party!

I don’t see any scam here. It’s a form of promotion like another….

And your assumption that the book is not good is as deceiving as the opposite one.

Since you’ve not read it!

Because the book may be damn good, or damn awful, but nobody will discover it if nobody reads it.

Anyway… I’m appreciating your blog, congrats!
