[Dr. Drib]

To repeat: Do authors cross the line when they recommend their own books?

Is there a distinction to be made in promoting one's book and recommending one's book? What is that difference, if there is one?

I'm purposefully leaving the venue [originating source] open in order to see if a conversation on this issue is one that we may all wish to explore - in its many manifestations and permutations, and perhaps even in some that I am unaware of.

Personally, I consider this to be the low-mark of a narcissistic mind, an action akin to picking one's nose in public.

But...is such an action ever justified, within any context, do you think?

You know my thoughts on this issue.

What are your thoughts on this issue? (Or perhaps you see it as a non-issue.)
