Hi, I.J. and John,<br />

Hi, I.J. and John,<br />

But why would you review your own book? Surely, if that becomes known, it could hurt your reputation. Yes, I've heard stories about people getting their relatives and friends to write glowing reviews, but I still think that isn't the right thing to do.
