The quote from "Q" ...Hmm, I did wonder about that. The quote from "Q" was a clue.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about reviews. The only one that springs to mind which really made a difference was when Tony Parsons went on to Late Review (or whatever it was called) and raved about "Ralph's Party" by Lisa Jewell. And lo, a career was born. Which, in its own sad way, about says it all.Alex Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292776892096027751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-64280349808814992212008-10-20T15:56:00.000+01:002008-10-20T15:56:00.000+01:00Ah, they were for the last book.

Bad publisher.<BR/><BR/>It's always nice to get a good review, and bad reviews can be processed if they're thoughtful, reasoned bad reviews. However, I'm not sure how much effect either have on sales.

He'll probably read it on the plane and get dry roasted peanuts stuck in all the pages.<BR/><BR/>And what about those other blurbs that appear on the amazon site?? They're not too shoddy, either.Alex Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292776892096027751noreply@blogger.com
