Jonathan asked David Callinan:

I received an email from you with "As requested" in the subject bar. I did not request the book, and using that phrase in an email is kind of a cheap-shot and slick version of spam. It automatically turns me against the book and the sender of the email. I suggest changing your strategy and showing a little respect for the people to whom you mass mail. Was this your idea, or something cooked up by a publicist?

David Callinan Just found your email in junk. I think I've already answered it. A Facebook ad campaign sign-up somehow picked up a couple of addresses that shouldn't have been there. The ones that were had requested the book.
