Now with that kind of tone and flow, it won't take long for me (web design newbie) to finish the book. So Eric, with the same tone and flow, can you write one for Programming? If you do, you are guaranteed of 1 customer even before you finished writing......that's me. :) I just bought your new book yesterday and coincidentally, I’ve also heard the name Eric Giguere for the first time. :)

Every time I see a sales page that's packed with 'guru' testimonials then receive an emaild announcement from them trying to sell me the product, I immediately distrust the whole pitch. IF a well known marketer actually writes an honest opinion of the good and bad as they saw it, I pay more attention BUT I still mistrust many because they aren't consistently honest in their reviews. Too many are so busy promoting and taking care of business to to evaluate what they are recommending so they use the pre-written messages written by the product's creator.

In retrospect I think the brutal honesty about industry problems increased my credability. I have gotten emails thanking me for "telling me like it is".
