> could benefit from it but haven't yet recognized their need for it?
> 
> ANSWER:
> By getting satisfied readers to post comments on the book on its
> Amazon.com web page! (According to my publisher.)

> So I'd appreciate it if those on this list who have read my "Minimal

> ... and post your comments there by scrolling down to the Customer
> Reviews section.

> Note that these "reviews" don't need to be extensive, and there's no

> wiser decision about acquiring the book would be appropriate.

> By the way, those of you who haven't visited the book's Amazon page
