Amazon Makes Damaging Mistake
Amazon.com has posted a review written in 1999 about a book that I first published in 1987. The reviewer said that book was dated, and indeed, given that it was 12 years old when he wrote the review, it was.
Unfortunately, somehow Amazon has connected that 1999 review with my new MIS book, which was just published in 2006. Please note that none of the comments in that review pertain to my 2006 book.
I endeavor to keep this site as pure and unrelated to my books as possible, but given the nature of this problem, I hope you’ll excuse this exception.
I don’t know how Amazon made this mistake – the books have different titles and publishers. Furthermore, how can they publish a 1999 review on a 2006 book? Seems like it would be a simple check to write.
Yikes!
