But yeah, testimonials from people I don't know for people I don't yet know enough to trust are worthless to me.
Didn't Steve say that he didn't put testimonials on his PDSP book for the reason that most testimonials in the market aren't truthful - they are just friends writing testimonials for friends without really having read the book? |
It's true to some extent, but I would insist that anyone reviewing my book read it proprly and give an honest appraisal. The people who review my books must be credible, otherwise, what's the point?
