The Dream of the Decade: The London Novels ReviewIn July 2006, October 2006, and now in February 2007, I've gotten emails thru our library web reference service that look something like this:
Inquiry about The Dream of the Decade - The London Novels
Would you have this novel in stock? It's by an author called Afshin Rattansi who used to be a journalist at Al Jazeera. It also has an endorsement from Johnny Cash according to the author's website.
These are the details I could find.
Paperback: 622 pages

Language: English
ISBN-10: 1419616862
ISBN-13: 978-1419616860
When I write back with our standard "email me your library card number, and we can place a purchase request" email, I never hear back from them, and in one case, the email bounced (to an address that had sent me email a day before). this has happened 3 times in the last 6-7 months.
Looks like some kind of long term attempt to virally market this book by spacing out the emails enough so I'll say "hey, where have I heard of that book before? I think I'll buy it" rather than recognizing the "requests" as promotions from non-patrons of our library. Too bad for them we keep a log of emailed ref questions.
This is really pathetic. If you want a library to buy your book, send us a real email/press release- don't try to trick us by having pretend library patrons email us clamoring for your book. Libraries are perfectly willing to spend money on books that our patrons really want, but spamming us with pretend patrons makes us think your book can't stand on its own merits.The Dream of the Decade: The London Novels OverviewA quartet following the lives and themes that dominated living in Britain and America in the 1980s, examining the growth of finance, property, media and terrorism.
