All professors have office hours.

Oh and here is a quick search on the author.
https://www.google.com/search?q=will...obile&ie=UTF-8

Everything I find says he is the leading expert.

Oh and just because something in print does not always make it true.

Thanks so much.

How can you see that it's a "number one best seller"?

I think I'll go ahead and buy it unless someone tells me otherwise...?

Since you don't know the topic of ebooks very well, how can you be certain that any posts you read on an internet discussion forum about ebooks will be correct?

It says that on the second link on that search. Also if you scroll down on the Amazon book page, it tells exactly where it is at Amazon and in what category.

Cinisajoy · 11-04-2015, 06:07 PM

Now how to get correct information, use several sources.
In all honesty, if I was looking for information on anabolic steroids, I wouldn't bother with a book but would just look at many websites.

Oh and before taking steroids, consult your physician.

Well, I trust the people here on Mobileread. I've had experience with Cinisajoy and he really knows his stuff. Thanks for trying to make me feel even more anxious :P

Is reading the Customer Reviews a good way to check if ebooks contain good information?

Oh now what I know about steroids, they can cause people to lose jobs, awards, get wins taken away from them.

I've been trying to find more information about the author, william llewellyn. Did anyone else find out if he's legit or not?

pdurrant · 11-13-2015, 05:38 AM

Legit? Well, he's a real person and appears to have made a living from writing and talking about anabolic steroids for twenty years or so.

Whether his book is the best reference, I've no idea. The Wikipedia article on them suggests several books, his among them.

If you click on the search link I gave way up yonder, there are many links to him.
He is the leading expert in that field so yes I would trust him.

Or you could always Google athletes that were caught taking anabolic steroids.

Now if your physician has recommended them for you ask him for book references.

FatGuy · 11-15-2015, 12:31 AM

I'm in awe of the great help I've received here!

FatGuy · 11-15-2015, 09:21 AM

I've been wanting to read a lot more ebooks, but I've been held back from reading because I'm concerned with not knowing if the author is legitimate or not.

I really wish that I could get an analysis of the author's details like pdurrant posted. Thanks so much for posting that!
