Disturbing mill advertising

Tom Nixon, who doesn't earn a commission, points out that Contentville will sell you my dissertation for $30.

But I updated and expanded it 5 or 6 years ago, and Ten Speed published it (for a much lower price) as "Send This Jerk the Bedbug Letter: How corporations, politicians and the media deal with consumer complaints..."

 

Thank you for clearing that up. I didn't doubt your credentials, but didn't know about the surname change.

Actually, DMBA is somewhat overrated. I find 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone much more interesting!

Thanks for the cite, Tom. As I explained earlier, I didn't doubt the big guy's credentials.

Dr. Morse writes that he finds 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone of interest.

So do we all, Mark. I understand they wanted to get Humphrey Bogart to play the part of the man whose life is saved when he switches to Eclipse cigarettes (the new brand that is allegedly safe because it doesn't have that stuff in it), but they were a bit too late.

Here are a couple of citations from Dissertation Abstracts that might interest you:

Why anyone with such credentials would use them to dignify an operation like Kennedy-Western is beyond me.
