Some honest feedback needed...
Hi All,
I'm new to this newsgroup but hoped you wouldn't mind if I asked a favour? I would like to try and gain the honest opinions of members of "uk.rec.gardening" on a gardening book we are about to publish and as such I would like to give away 10 copies to those people who contact me first. It's 155 pages of what, I feel, is genuinely useful information for those on a time and money budget. It covers topics like: Easy Lawns, Fast Flowers, Delicious Fruit and Vegetable plots, Easy care plants and an Annual Gardening Activity Calender. The cost of the book is normally £12 but obviously in this case it is free to the first 10 readers who get in touch. The only thing I ask if you would like a copy, is that you actually read it and email me back a few lines on what you thought of it. To get a copy can you please send me an email with "Gardening Book" in the subject line to: and I will send you the download link for the book. Please be assured I won't retain your email address - I'm literally only interested in getting feedback on this book. Thanks, Hywel Raymer Publishing Ltd |

Hywel Raymer Publishing Ltd I could find nothing on this 'company' All publishing houses use a hotmail address then do they? Not the ones I deal with hmm and the offer of a free copy is really only a link to an e-book I regularly have books sent to me to review with the Royal Navy theme and I know for a fact that reviewers are vetted as to their authenticity and the fact that they are not just 'book collectors'. AND a proper hard/soft back print is sent. ????????????????? Mike -- National Service (RAF) Ass. Cosford 24 - 27 June Spitfire Fly Past H.M.S.Impregnable Ass. Sussex 1 - 4 July Visit to Int.

"Mike" wrote in message ... Hywel Raymer Publishing Ltd I could find nothing on this 'company' The company does exist. It's registered address is in Cupar, Fife, and it's existed since 2002. Its declared nature of business is indeed publishing (well, whatever "2215 - Other Publishing" is in Companies House-speak). Having said that, I agree this is an unorthodox way to get feedback on a book. However, small companies have small budgets and if knowledgeable feedback can be gained in this way, at little or no cost, then why not? Neil. |

I'm not sure of the value of the feedback gotten this way, but for anyone with a curious nose and a throwaway email addy and a Palm Pilot (so as to not be tied to the computer screen or using precious ink)...
