[Web4lib] Librarians Create Bestseller

[Robert L. Balliot]

Wow,

The brit who sells technical services to libraries
and advertises his company with each posting ironically 
calls this a 'transparent shilling'. And, an academic
librarian calls it 'well concealed' and ironically 
implies that it should be disregarded for having 
religious connotations 
 
So, we have a salesperson saying things should not
be sold and a librarian saying things should not
be read.  LoL

Well concealed sales pitch if I ever saw one.  I know one book I will
not recommend. It is also a religious pitch.

Is this kind of transparent shilling really appropriate for the list?
