And, of course, if you have to read the book before you post it, and the sale is short, then the sale is over before you can post. But still, self-pub does seriously offend some people, hence my warning/apology.

There are so many self-pubbed books out there these days, so in general I pretty much limit myself to the above guidelines. Either I've read the book, or read and enjoyed others by the same author, or at least a few of the (many) blogs I follow have recommended the author or book. I often don't specifically identify them as self-pubbed though, and I think if those are the general guidelines, it isn't necessary.
