Hehehe.. well, I don't think anyone can be harmed by a few handy tips
here and there, but you must realize that there are those of us who have
been Gamemaster for a very, very long time. I've heard about the book
you described, and I found nothing in the description given to me that
would be very valuable. While you may find it indispensable, I might
find it mostly common sense and amusing. It depends on your experience
and your point of view.

Shameless plug is not a problem. The problem is assuming that everyone
could benefit from this book, and assuming that the information
contained within is some sort of burning bush message that must be
hailed and welcomed by GM's everywhere.
