The NYT circuits columns always say if they've been given an item to "road test". Why can't everyone else??<br /><br /><b>Louise~</b> Maybe you could pick a Danish publisher & email them & ask for review copies for upcoming releases. You'd be offering free publicity after all!<br /><br />Happy reading!~<br /><br />AmandaBob & Muffintophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517851052183148808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11608286.post-14829531121752738682009-06-14T08:09:52.672-04:002009-06-14T08:09:52.672-04:00I don't believe this will ever be relevant to ...I don't believe this will ever be relevant to me. I have never received anything, let alone a book, and I don't think I will receive anything. I also book-blog in Danish, and even though one should think Danish publishers were anxious to get business growing, they haven't yet figured out how to ask bloggers to review etc. <br /><br />All books I talk about are owned and bought by myself/as gifts or from the library.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11608286.post-4214350544667842962009-06-14T00:27:57.379-04:002009-06-14T00:27:57.379-04:00I haven't seen the kind Marg is talking about ...I haven't seen the kind Marg is talking about but I think it's a good idea. Hard to police but hey, maybe the principal will be enough to get people to pony up details on what they 'get' for discussing something.<br /><br />I've only ever won an ARC and it was part of the guidelines that a review would be appreciated. It didn't say it had to be a good review - luckily for me I loved the book ;)<br /><br />For the most part, if I don't say I won the book then I've bought the book. I do so love to own my books ;)<br /><br />What would be interesting though are those blogs that might be pimping a technology based item but what we don't know is that they were given the item for free in return for discussing it.<br /><br />CindysCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11608286.post-50263165906839153402009-06-13T22:45:17.894-04:002009-06-13T22:45:17.894-04:00Holly~ Good question.
