I did, too. I don't remember asking for one.

Is Stephen Leigh harvesting MR to get addresses to send his spam, to? I also got email about this book.

Nah, It's Phoenix Pick (ArcManor) sending out the info, so if you are signed up for their free book of the month mail then you get this freebie as well.

DrNefario · 09-19-2012, 05:17 PM

Ah, okay. In that case, I did kind of ask for it. I'll let them off.

Here's a clean link to Amazon, without the afffiliate crap:

The book is free.

Question: why does the affiliate 'crap' bother you. In what way does it impact you?? Actually in this case it doesn't even give us anything (its free), but if it were giving us (as the publisher) something from Amazon, why the heck are you all so opposed to it?

The forum has rules about where affiliate links may be posted. Also, Amazon Associates TOS has rules as well. It's my understanding (I'm slowly wading through it as I prepare to start using affiliate links on my own site) that Associates can only use their referral links on sites that are under the Associate's control. Public forums do not meet that requirement.

Thanks for the heads up that it's already available. I just know that come tomorrow I would have forgotten about it. Can't tell you how many times I've missed one by a day.

JSWolf · 09-20-2012, 06:12 PM

OK, this is not spam and I just grabbed it from Amazon.

Thanks, wondered. Sorry folks, I'll make sure to look at the URLs more closely from now on.
