I think you are slightly overreacting. As far as I can see, Mary
pointed us at a book that may be interesting for OOo people. She
just happened to be the author.

I may be too optimistic, but I believe in people's good intentions first.

If she had spammed 500 mailing lists with this, or had she posted this
message for days in a row, I would tend to agree with you.

There's a new book on OOo, and Mary pointed us at it. I see no problem
with that. Why not ask Mary for a copy, and post a review?

And do not forget that when you buy a book, there's _mutual_ benefit.
The author gets (a tiny amount of) money. You get a book with valuable
information.
