Not just reviews, I thought it was a well established practice to purchase one's own book to ram it up the rankings.
I have also heard that it is a backdoor way of spending political campaign money. Candidate "writes" a book, the Campaign to Elect X buys a warehouse of the books, candidate then gets the profits.
- chiefalchemist 3y agoI had a brief vision of a warehouse filled with e-books. But seriously, I have a similar feeling about book deals. That is, it's a great - and legal - way to pay (off) someone for "prior service", meanwhile the book's sales are shite. But selling books was never really the point.
