I just came across this interesting article on yahoo about a service that gave reviews for a price.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/best-book-reviews-money-buy-131408538.html
I'm not surprised about it's existence, but there were some very interesting facts/opinions in the article:
- 1/3 of all internet reviews are fake
- John Locke used the service right before his sales took off (and he become the first self-published million-book seller)
- Bowker estimates there will be 600,000 self published books in 2015
Interesting stuff in a sad sort of way.
